Engineers Without Borders GET PSYCHED
fEWB at QUT • e qut@ewb.org.au
Engineers Without Borders Australia is a not for profit international organization which focuses on promoting sustainability and creating systematic change to improve the everyday livelihood of third world communities through education and sustainable engineering. The QUT Chapter aims to promote the values of EWB Australia by providing students with opportunities volunteering on meaningful community development. We hold a variety of events throughout the year such as: Careers Night – Network with corporate partners, Dragon Boat Race – EWB team compete in a Regatta race and Pathways to Working with Developing Communities – Annual conference which address issues associated with development work presented by experienced guests.
Stepping stones was our first major event of the year which brought all our members together for an informative, yet relaxed introduction to the club. The event gave the opportunity for a variety of like minded members from various chapters, universities, and corporate sectors a chance to mingle over some pizza and ice breaker activities. It also addressed opportunities that EWB offers such as the Design summit (which allowed a number of student volunteers work with other NGO’s to design and innovate sustainable solutions for people in developing communities) and our most popular Highschool Outreach Modules. f getpsychedqut • e getpsychedqut@gmail.com
Get Psyched is the official Psychology Student Association at QUT. The club is run by Psychology students for Psychology students and is supported by the School of Psychology. Throughout the year Get Psyched hosts various social & professional events. Our largest professional event for this year is the HOPE convention (18th of May 2016), focussing on suicide prevention. We are excited to be working with some brilliant professionals in the industry and anticipate an insightful evening. Our largest and most anticipated social event for the year is the Psychology Ball held towards the end of semester two every year. We had a great turnout last year and had an absolutely smashing night. Make sure you save the date for this year’s ball, it’s only going to be even more spectacular.
