The RMIT School of Property, Construction and Project Management hosted its 2018 Annual Industry and Research Awards Night at the MCG Olympic Room and Betty Cuthbert Lounge on Thursday 18th October.
The event gave the School an opportunity to celebrate the success of another year and to recognise its highest achieving students in front of their peers, teachers, loved ones, and industry guests.
The event also allowed final year Honours students from construction management, project management, and property and valuation undergraduate programs to present their research findings to academics and industry in info-graphic poster form.
Thank you to our industry partners for sponsoring the awards, RMIT staff for making the event possible, honours students for working so hard on their research projects, and to everyone that attended on the night.
