Academic Breakfast 2018

By -



The annual Academic Breakfast of Golden Key Society was held on the 3rd of July 2018 at Café Blac, which is located in Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn. This was the first event that was organised by the 2018 committee and it turned out to be a great success. The main determination of the Academic Breakfast is to network with the members and to inform about the great community services that the chapter is involved in.

It was a pleasure to meet the invited Golden Key honorary members of the Swinburne Chapter and network with most of the Academics who’s been involved with the Chapter. The most prominent of the guests being Swinburne Vice Chancellor, Linda Kristjanson and Ernst & Young Partner, Terence Jeyaretnam.
The event was opened by Enuri, our Academic Officer of the committee and handed the rest of the event to the President of the Chapter, Philip. He mentioned about the history of Golden Key, important stats and events that our chapter has held and the achievements of the previous years.
After the brief introduction of the Swinburne Chapter of Golden Key by the President, the scrumptious pre-ordered breakfast was served on the table.


As this being the first event organised by the new chapter committee, it turned out a success and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves on the day. The event ran beautifully as our Academic Officer, Enuri had organised and booked the event to ensure it ran smoothly. If you are interested in attending the next Academic Breakfast, please contact us to learn about the ways in which you can be involved with the committee.

Vikhyat Dhingra | President Hi, my name is Vikhyat Dhingra, but most of my colleagues and friends know me simply as Vik. It gives me immense pleasure to carry out my first act as President by formally introducing myself and offering to each of you my warmest greetings. For starters, I have been affiliated with Swinburne University for 6 years now, having graduated with a Bachelor’s in IT in 2016, which I’ve since put to good use in my day job as a System Administrator. As a lover of lifelong learning, I’ve also committed myself to further study, having recently enrolled in a Master’s degree of Network Systems specialising in cybersecurity, which I hope to complete by the end of 2020. I have been a member of the Golden Key Society since 2015. While IT has been the subject of my academic life, I have many hobbies and interests that exist outside the realm of academia and computer technologies, the first of which is my passion as a writer. I favour the forms of poetry...

The packs were filled with pencils, pens, rulers, erasers and exercise books. The chapter also donated $300 of chapter funding to purchase the stationary items needed for the packs. Backpack 4 Kids Victoria is an organisation that provides backpacks full of essential items to children fleeing domestic violence or have lost everything in house fires. The stationary packs made by the committee will be put in the backpacks along with other items such as clothes and toiletries.

New Members Reception 2017 - Perspective of a New Member

By -
Written by Karuna Santosa - Swinburne University of Technology Research Assistant, Pro-Vice Chancellor’s Office of Student Engagement When I received a letter in the mail informing me I was invited to join the Golden Keys International Honour Society, I was quite surprised.  I had heard of the society before but I was not aware of what it did or what it stood for as a society.  The letter provided me information about a new members’ event which I was invited to attend.  I was not sure why I was receiving an invite at this stage of my studies, my marks had always been strong and my average score was steady.  So I decided to ask staff at Swinburne whether they thought it was worth paying $100 to join the society.  Interestingly enough, everyone I spoke too encouraged me to join because they believed it was a great networking opportunity.  I decided to find out more about the society before committing myself to the new members’ event.  I did this by ...
