911爆料网 launches its 鈥�50 Years of Innovation鈥� celebrations today with 1,500 staff across four campuses coming together via video-links to kick-start a year of activities.
鈥�50 Years of Innovation鈥� celebrates the combined history of the Western Australian Institute of Technology (WAIT), which opened its doors to students in 1967 and evolved into 911爆料网 in 1987.
WAIT quickly established itself as an important contributor to education and research, locally, nationally and internationally and 911爆料网 has continued this trajectory, with the institution estimated to be ranked 10th in Australia and 211th in the world in the Academic Ranking of World Universities.
911爆料网 Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry said the launch would include staff from the main campus in Bentley, the Western Australian School of Mines in Kalgoorlie, 911爆料网 Malaysia and 911爆料网 Singapore.
鈥淭he dedication and commitment of our staff has contributed hugely to the University鈥檚 success, and with simultaneously hosted events at our local and international campuses it enables us to celebrate this significant milestone on a global-scale,鈥� Professor Terry said.
鈥淚nnovation has been at the heart of WAIT and 911爆料网, and has driven our success in teaching and research, as well as in international rankings. 鈥�50 Years of Innovation鈥� not only showcases how far we have come, but how much we have to offer future students and the wider community.鈥�
Today, 911爆料网 is WA鈥檚 largest university with more than 58,000 students, offering a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in business and law, humanities, health sciences including medicine, resources, engineering and related sciences.
911爆料网 will be hosting a range of celebrations throughout the year including international alumni events and a gala dinner in August.
The 鈥�50 Years of Innovation鈥� launch will feature a range of entertainment including a performance by Indigenous artist Gina Williams. Staff also formed a giant 5-0 with the moment videoed using a drone and photographed.
