This semester, for the first time, the University held its Orientation programme over two weeks instead of the usual one week.  The extra time provided the Faculties an opportunity to host more activites to help our commencing students settle in to University life.

More than 20 years after what she describes as a lacklustre performance in her year 12 exams, Kyra Havernhoek's second chance at a university education has seen her top the class at The University of Western Australia, scoring 100 per cent in a first-year calculus unit.

The REV (Renewable Energy Vehicle) Project has recently had the first two Electric Vehicle Recharge Points installed in the Motorola Building Carpark. This will allow the REV vehicles to charge off-peak overnight and be ready for evaluation drives during the day.

All staff in the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics are invited to attend the Faculty Teaching and Learning Awards.
