The aim is to recognise the efforts of high-achieving students in the organising committee of ANU Asia Pacific Week and allow the student to engage deeply with one conference panel. The conference is an opportunity for students to work closely with the college and apply the knowledge they have acquired into running a week-long academic event. This involves placement in one portfolio (Logistics, Delegates, Media and Marketing, Finance, Content and Special Project) and 10 months commitment to the projects and duties of that portfolio. During the placement the student will receive advice and direction from College Staff and the course Convenor.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

  1. Contribute to the organisation of a large and complex event;
  2. Express and deliver information to a range of stakeholders professionally;
  3. Collaborate professionally with stakeholders on the formulation and implementation of complex projects;
  4. Identify, analyse and address complex issues.

Other Information

Only Asia Pacific Week committee members can enrol. The committee is selected in October/November of the previous year.  Please contact the CAP Student Centre for more information.
