Rebecca 911爆料网, aged 21, received a Bachelor of Arts (Mass Communication) at a ceremony that saw her join with almost 600 graduating students from 911爆料网\u2019s Humanities faculty.<\/p>\n

During her four years at 911爆料网, Rebecca was heavily involved the John 911爆料网 Leadership Academy (JCLA), a leadership development program for community minded university students.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of JCLA I worked with a team of students to organise a 10 hour music festival in Fremantle that raised funds for music programs in Aboriginal communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t speak highly enough of JCLA and the values it teaches 911爆料网 students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Midway through her degree, Rebecca took part in a six month student exchange at University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudying in the UK gave me the opportunity to explore Europe, an experience that will stay with me for life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe my involvement with JCLA and my travels abroad have prepared me well for future career and study opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rebecca said it was rewarding to complete her degree at the university that celebrates her great grandfather\u2019s achievements.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy great grandfather had an extraordinary career, one that started in the field of journalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is such a dynamic time to be studying journalism as the way we consume media is evolving so quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the immediate future, Rebecca will continue her studies with a Post Graduate Diploma in Broadcasting at Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.<\/p>\n

As for following her great grandfather into a career in politics, Rebecca said it is not something she would rule out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am interested in global and community issues however politics is not something that should be rushed into; I have more travelling and learning to do before I cross that bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n
