There’s just one week to go until the 2025 All Staff Expo. On Tuesday 5 August between 10am and 1pm, visit the UQ Centre to learn about the great range of benefits available to staff. Come and meet UQ teams, partners and service providers while enjoying free coffee, food and giveaways.
Nominations are now open for the UQ Ally Award. The UQ Ally Award celebrates a staff member who has worked to create and promote a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for people of diverse sexes, genders and sexualities at the University. The award is presented by the UQ Ally Network, which has, since 2024, worked to create positive change on campus.
Congratulations to UQP author Siang Lu, who has won the Miles Franklin Literary Award for ‘Ghost Cities’, his bold and satirical reimagining of Australian storytelling. This prestigious award recognises a novel of 'the highest literary merit' that presents 'Australian life in any of its phases.' Alongside the prestigious win, Siang will receive $60,000 in prize money.
