Hooray! Two important milestones for the PNG University of Technology

Letter from the Auditor General on our 2015 accounts.
(See my interview on EMTV on 28 November 2017. See my earlier post on why the PNGUoT is the premier University in PNG.)

UNITECH has reached two important milestones.

1) The Auditor General's report carried out by an independent auditor on our 2015 accounts was clean and did not contain any qualification. The first time in over 20 years! We are now part of that handful of state agencies that received an unqualified report on our accounts.

On becoming a good University (part 5): opening of the 8th Huon Seminar 7 November 2017

Introduction

Dear Students, Governor, Minister, honoured guests, Council Members, members of Vice Chancellor's office, Head of Departments, Professors, Faculty and Staff of the PNGUoT, ladies and gentlemen,

Today, it is a great honour for me to open the 8th Huon Seminar, where over 40 stimulating papers are presented reflecting the research activity of our Faculty and staff from a PNG perspective. The word Seminar comes from Latin "seminarium" which means seedbed. I am also proud that all members of the Vice Chancellor's office have prepared interesting contributions, Prof. Gena, Dr. Renagi and Dr. Moshi. All participants today are expected to be seeds, yielding many fruits across the nation and the Pacific region.
