Thanks To The Team

 
Thanks to all the RMIT alumni (and staff) who helped create this edition of RMIT Alumni Magazine. We asked each of the contributors for this edition: what was (or is) your favourite space on or around campus?
Claire Buckis
Editor, RMIT Alumni Magazine
Senior Advisor, Communications, RMIT Advancement
I knew I wanted to use my writing skills and I wanted to make a difference – I was open to wherever that would lead.

Professor Paul Gough
Pro Vice-Chancellor & Vice-President, College of Design and Social Context
My favourite place has to be in one of the studios, in fact anywhere where students can be found developing ideas, putting them into practice through making and testing, and then showing them to others for critique and lively exchange.

Priscilla Ho
Founder and President of Prescient Sports and Entertainment Marketing Pty Ltd
Bachelor of Business, Marketing, 1994.
My favourite space is the cafe area and library at RMIT city campus, Melbourne. I’d always travel between the library, my workplace and my apartment. The library made me concentrate and study, while cafe was all about having fun with friends after all the hard work.

On campus, there was a big communal pattern making studio, and in our fourth and final year we thought we were entitled to the space, so we would come in and work there all night.
