2018 Gala Dinner goes waste-free
This year’s Griffith Business School Annual Gala Dinner featured an innovative, waste-free menu inspired by the night’s keynote speaker, OzHarvest founder and honorary Griffith doctorate recipient Ronni Kahn.
Designed by Hilton Brisbane’s chefs, the menu was based on the ideals of minimising food waste, ensuring that as little produce as possible went unused.
Pro Vice Chancellor (Business) Professor David Grant acknowledged Ms Kahn’s “incredible contributions to social entrepreneurship, sustainability, innovation and social impact”, and explained the University’s partnership with Hilton Brisbane had arisen in honour of the revered social entrepreneur.

The Village Market creators receive Entrepreneurial Alumnus Award
Marissa Bowden and Sarah Schoeller have been announced as the joint recipients of Griffith Business School’s Outstanding Entrepreneurial Alumnus Award at the School’s Annual Gala Dinner.
The news of their win couldn’t have come at a better time with the pair celebrating an important milestone in their business lives as the founders of The Village Markets in Burleigh.
“It really is such an honour receiving this award especially after we just celebrated 10 years in business last month,” former Bachelor of Business student Sarah says. “Running your own business certainly is hard work and it’s moments like this that make it really worthwhile.”
Marissa, also a Bachelor of Business graduate, is similarly thrilled with their win. “We are so grateful to Griffith University for recognising our achievements.”

Griffith students continue to shine on a national stage
A team of Griffith Business School students have done themselves and the University exceptionally proud at the CFA Research Challenge Australian national finals in Sydney, earning second place in this year’s competition.
This marks the sixth appearance in seven years for a Griffith team in the CFA national finals, a performance that has in turn seen the University assert itself as an institution of growing influence in the Chartered Financial Analyst community.
The team – comprising captain Enoch Pun, Gold Coast students Eden Peterson and Jake Matthews, and Nathan peers Denis Vukovac and Andrea Crespo Wong – fought off stiff competition from some of the country’s most respected universities, working tirelessly to compile and present an original research report on ASX:TLS (Telstra) to make their way to the finals.
