Tony Windsor to launch UNE Economics Society
September 07, 2006
The Federal Member for New England, Tony Windsor, who holds an Economics degree from The University of New England, will officially launch the UNE Economics Society on the University's annual Open Day - Friday 8 September.
The launch will be at 2.30 pm in Booloominbah. Earlier in the day (11 am in Lecture Theatre 5, Faculty of Economics, Business and Law), Mr Windsor (pictured here) will take part in a UNE Economics Society presentation titled "The Visible Hands". He will speak about the benefits of studying economics at UNE, while members of the Society will talk about the careers available to economics graduates. "The Visible Hands" is one of a number of Open Day presentations on particular areas of study; others include business studies (Dillon Lecture Theatre, 10.30 am), nursing (Patricia O'Shane Building, 10.30 am and 12 noon), psychology (Paul Barratt Lecture Theatre, 1 pm), and law (Dillon Lecture Theatre, 1 pm). The UNE Law Students' Society will present "Loving Law at UNE" in the Dillon Lecture Theatre at 1.30 pm, and there will be a series of short lectures, titled "Turn Up to Get Turned On" in the Education Building between 10 am and 2 pm.
Professor Roley Piggott, Executive Dean of UNE's Faculty of Economics, Business and Law, said he was "delighted with the formation of the UNE Economics Society". "The Faculty now has student societies for each of the disciplinary areas represented in its name," Professor Piggott said. "There are very important roles that student societies can play, ranging from participation in School and Faculty governance through to assisting its members with career planning. I wish the Society well, and I look forward to working with its Executive for the benefit of its members."
Giles Dickenson-Jones, President of the UNE Economics Society, said it was one of the fastest-growing student societies on campus. "The Society is open to all those studying economics, agricultural economics, agribusiness and economics majors," he said. "Associate membership is available to all those interested, including UNE alumni. We are dedicated to providing our members with access to many opportunities designed to enhance their UNE experience."
Mr Dickenson-Jones said those opportunities included social functions, career information, and networking opportunities. "The Society encourages its members to develop personal networks that will last a lifetime," he said. "This is achieved through regular social functions and the internationally accessible discussion group."
Membership also gives its members access to academic support services, the Society's economics library and lounge, and opportunities for paid tutoring work within the local community.
