A feast of networking
More than 220 students and graduates received first hand industry advice from prominent UniSA alumni at the recent Network Now dinner held at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
Seated with leaders from industries as diverse as business and sports, communications and computer science, nursing and building – including SA Tourism Commission CEO, Bill Spurr, SA Lotteries Commission CEO, June Roache and former Lord Mayor of Adelaide, Alfred Huang – students learned essential tips and tricks for career success while sharing a three-course meal and enjoying a drop of local wine.
Hosted by Pat Mickan, the dinner was progressive in both its style and format – six students were matched and seated with two prominent alumni and at the end of each course, the students moved to their next allocated table. Challenges and competitions throughout the night, made it a lively, interactive and entertaining evening.
In its second year, Network Now, sponsored by HomeStart Finance, has proved itself a must do function as much for local businesses as for students and graduates.
