2018 NSW International Student Awards - Winners announced
26 September 2018
International students and organisations that have empowered women to re-enter the workforce, delivered solutions to real business problems, and assisted with a charity’s resettlement program were among those recognised at the annual 2018 NSW International Student Awards last night.
Addressing the audience gathered at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, Minister for Trade and Industry Niall Blair said the Awards, now in their 5th year, celebrate international students and organisations and their enormous contributions to NSW.
"A long way from home, international students build relationships with our students, community members, neighbours and friends. Last year more than 230,000 international students enrolled in courses across NSW’s excellent education institutions, helping to make NSW the vibrant, multicultural and dynamic place that it is. Many become great ambassadors for NSW as future leaders and advocates for trade, diplomacy and research links. Through its delivery of these awards, the NSW Government acknowledges their valuable contribution to the State and reaffirms its commitment to making their study experience in NSW the best it can be."
