Recapping the winners of 2019
For the first time in 10 years – the 2019 CampusLink Awards dinner was held on a member campus. The award winning Aerial UTS Function Centre was a perfect backdrop to acknowledge all the fabulous initiatives and individual achievements taking place on campuses around Australia and to recognise our Strategic Partner of the Year – Lion Beer Australia.
The evening was supported by student representatives from the UTS PhotoSoc and Emalia Jane, UTS Student DJ.
