This year, we celebrate the College’s 109th Birthday with our College community.

Some of the highlights of this year’s event include the launch of the College’s 110th Anniversary in 2024 and a special Q&A featuring Women in Tertiary Education with a panel of Queensland Vice-Chancellors, facilitated by Emeritus Professor Carol Dickenson AM, President of The Women’s College Council.
