Everything you wanted to know about the Centenary … or a good excuse for cake!

All staff are invited to a forum at 10am on Friday 30 November in the Webb Lecture Theatre to find out what’s happening, why it’s important and how you can get involved.

Special centenary cupcakes will make this event all the sweeter.

Come and hear from all the people who have been working hard on the Centenary: how you can volunteer; how you can brand your publications and correspondence; how you can use Centum to inject some fun into all your projects.

Branding and marketing resources will be explained and projects including the sundial, designed by Shaun Tan, the book, the CD and the Centenary plant will be introduced to staff.

Centum is the name given to the 100 numerals that have already started popping up around campus and in publications (see page 11). Staff are invited to use the University’s range of polystyrene numbers (all 100 but in different sizes) to dedicate an activity to the centenary. There may be an exhibition towards the end of next year of photographs of Centum.

Find out more at the staff forum and hear about the fantastic Alumni Weekend planned for February, in which all staff are invited to take part.

If you’d like to volunteer during the weekend, please contact Ian Lilburne to help out on Friday night, 8 February. To volunteer during the day, please contact Shelley Jackson on 6488 4773 or Meredith Eddington on 6488 7946.
