Congratulations to new graduates

Fresh faces: Graduating students celebrated their achievements and mingled with SPA members during the ‘ Welcome to the Profession ’ brunch at James Cook University.

SPA hosts 'Welcome to the Profession' events

T he University of Queensland (UQ) ‘Welcome to the Profession’ event took place at Vespa Pizza, Woolloongabba in November last year. Attendees were treated to an ‘all you can eat’ pizza buffet, so the pizzas just kept coming! The event was a huge success, with attendees leaving absolutely satisfied (perhaps even stuffed?!) but more importantly, with new professional partnerships formed. Thank you to Speech Pathology Australia and the Branch members who joined in welcoming us – we look forward to working with you as official speech pathologists!

T he North Queensland speech pathology community officially welcomed the speech pathology new graduates from James Cook University into the profession on 26th October 2012. Speech Pathology Australia hosted a ‘Welcome to the Profession’ brunch at James Cook University which allowed Speech Pathology Australia members working in North Queensland and new graduates to meet and celebrate the beginning of their speech pathology careers. It was a great opportunity for established speech pathologists to meet the graduates entering the profession and for the new graduates to network and create professional links within their new profession.

Congratulations to the graduating students of The University of Queensland and James Cook University!
