The University of the South Pacific declared the winners of an internal competition for best displays at the 2013 Open Day at a cocktail, held at the Oceania Centre for Arts, Culture and Pacific Studies pavilion, on Friday 28 August, 2013.
The USP Development, Marketing and Communications (DMC) Office held the Post-Open Day cocktail and presentation ceremony, to thank and acknowledge the hard work put in by staff and students contributing towards a memorable Open Day for members of the public and the USP community.
Director Development, Marketing and Communications and Open Day Organising Committee Chair, Mr Jaindra Karan, acknowledged the presence of Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Susan Kelly, and other members of the USP Senior Management Team, the students, staff and sponsors at the cocktail.
“I hope you will cherish your experiences particularly the volunteers for helping us. You are part of this University, and without you, we wouldn’t be here,” he said.
The Open Day judging was conducted independently, with the process being undertaken and coordinated by three of USP Open Day’s Open Day 2013 major sponsors, ANZ Bank, HFC and Courts assessing the many display boards and booths on Open Day.
The criteria addressed six key areas: Relevance to the theme, USP – Shaping your future, information, effort, attractiveness, innovation and presentation.
Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Susan Kelly presented the awards, with the Faculty of Science, Technology and Environment once again taking the award for Best Academic Services Faculty Display, and the Library once again taking the award for Best Support Services Display.
This year also saw the introduction of a Special Commendation Award for Best Academic Services, Non-Faculty Display being awarded to the College of Foundation Studies.
More than 100 of the Open Day’s 194 volunteers turned up to witness the awards ceremony and join in the celebration.
