Duchesne Performers Prepare To Shine
Directed by our outstanding Cultural Convenor, Maggie Ryan, a group of talented Duchesne College musicians and performers have been hard at work rehearsing for a wonderful opportunity to showcase their talents at Opera By The Lake ahead of the headline act, The 7 Sopranos.
Wise Women Creating Change
In May 2021, The University of Queensland presented the residential colleges at UQ with an unprecedented matching offer to secure the future of our Bursary program. UQ offered to set aside dollar-for-dollar fund matching on 30 June this year for bursaries to Colleges, matching pledges from donors for up to five years. As a result, the $2.5 million ‘Create Change, Create Wise Women’ campaign was established at Duchesne College.
Straight-Sevens Semester
We know that success takes hard work, and that it comes in various forms. But for five Duchesne students, it took the shape of a straight-sevens Semester One in 2021 – an outstanding achievement. We asked them what they believed was the secret to their success and what their career ambitions are looking like.
Singing with one voice
In early 2021, newly appointed Duchesne Student Cultural Convenor and third-year resident Maggie Ryan had a lightbulb moment. Music Psychology is one of the Bachelor of Business Management/Bachelor of Arts student’s many areas of scholarly interest – and it had her pondering the power of music to connect across generations.
