International Open Days 2006
|
Open Day normally refers to the day when the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide opens its doors to the public – in Adelaide.
But Open Day took on a new, global dimension last month when the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ held two International Open Days, one each in Malaysia and Singapore.
The events encouraged current and prospective students, friends, family and everyday Malaysians and Singaporeans to learn more about Adelaide without setting foot outside their home countries.
The International Open Days, held at the Hotel Nikko, Kuala Lumpur, and the Orchard Hotel, Singapore, drew hundreds of people to both events.
More than 20 ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide staff attended the days, which were opened by the Chancellor, the Hon. John von Doussa QC.
ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ staff joined with local education partners and alumni to present a wide range of information about education, research, scholarships and the ongoing fellowship with the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ shared by South-East Asian graduates.
