The 2012 Faculty of Business Blue Sky Lecture Series topics have been announced. In 2012 we are looking to build on our success from 2011, which saw almost 40 lectures presented across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Northern Territory and India.
A number of new topics have been included in the 2012 menu including forensic accounting, the art of leadership, event management and bankruptcy prediction.
A Blue Sky Lecture is a presentation that takes place in your classroom by a leading academic from Bond University. Lectures are usually an hour and are aligned to the year 11 and 12 curriculum, while combining the presenter’s industry knowledge and experience. Blue Sky Lectures are aimed to inspire students to think about their future ambition and the career opportunities that are available to them.
