By Prathamesh Shiram - Secretary and Professional Development Officer


After many days of hard work and dedication put in by Amy Lego from GK APAC and committee members of Swinburne University of Technology and Deakin University, a career connector event was organised for all the Golden Key members across Victoria.

The members had the opportunity to network and engage with leading organisations like EY, UniBank, Ducere, P.O.W.E.R, Anzuk.education, and Professionals Australia!. In addition, it was a great platform for members to get to know their fellow Golden Key members.

The event was hosted by Swinburne University and held at the George Building on level 2. The event commenced from 6.30 PM until 8.30 PM. A total of 43 members attended this event, refreshments were provided to all. The secretary of Swinburne University, Prathamesh Shiram and the Vice President, Kevin Tuyau, worked closely with Amy Lego to make all the above things possible.
The event kickstarted with an opening speech by Phillip Nguyen, the president of Golden Key Swinburne Chapter. Amy Lego joined in to welcome all the exhibitors and declare the beginning of the event. Ruwi, a Golden Key member from Deakin chapter shared her inspiring journey as she presented her start up, Ruwi’s cakes. Following this opening, members began to network with the exhibitors and amongst themselves.

The insights and feedbacks received during the event and post event were great and almost everyone was happy with the event proceedings. The exhibitors were excited to participated again and it was a well-received evening, with a promising hope of having a great turn out next year!

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

By Kevin Tuyau - Vice President Swinburne Chapter Swinburne Chapter committee members met at Swinburne University in December 2018 to create 100 stationary packs for Backpack 4 Kids Victoria. 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. A couple of days after making the stationary packs, chapter co-vice president Kevin Tuyau delivered the packs to the Backpack 4 Kids Victoria head office. The organisation's founder Sally Beard was there to gladly accept the packs made by the committee. Backpack 4 Kids started in Sally's house in 2014 and

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 attending the free information ses
