Don’t Forget: Vote for Your Favorite Alumni Photos by Friday, April 9

Here's one photo entry - by Tyler Stern of the 2009 Fijian Tertiary Champs - that's one of 400 being voted on now in the 2010 AustraLearn Alumni Photo Contest.

AustraLearn has received more than 400 submissions to this year’s Alumni Photo Contest from all over the world. It’s asking everyone’s help to choose a winner.

All photos are posted on the new GlobaLinks Learning Abroad Facebook Fanpage. There are 5 albums – each album corresponds to a category.

Directions on voting: Simply “LIKE” your favorite photos. You may “LIKE” and comment on as many photos as you want – the more the better! If you think a photo is great or interesting or funny, “LIKE” it and tell the photographer by commenting. The more you vote, the more everyone else will vote too. Keep in mind that ANYONE can “LIKE” photos in the photo contest so invite your friends and family to vote too.

A winner will be chosen in each category and named “Best of Category” based on the number of “likes”received. Once AustraLearn has all of its “Best of Category” winners, it will open voting on those 5 photos and choose a grand prize winner.

The deadline to vote for the “Best of Category” is Friday, April 9th.

AustraLearn Degree Student From Canada Profiled On Edith Cowan University Web Site

Chris Devauld from Seneca College in Toronto, Canada, is featured on the web site for Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia, where he is earning a master’s degree in professional communications through AustraLearn’s degree program.

Devauld is able to do the program because of an articulation agreement between Seneca College and Edith Cowan University that allows him to turn his Graduate Certificate in Corporate Communications from Toronto into a Master of Professional Communications at ECU in only one semester.

During Devauld’s studies at ECU, he won a one-year internship at the Canadian High Commission in Canberra, working as a Public Affairs and Academic Relations Intern.

The internship involves writing speeches, creating media kits, organizing study-in-Canada campaigns and international events, as well as basic office duties.

“It was a good way to put the frosty finish on my studies once and for all and it got me where I wanted to go,” he said in a university news article. “The professors were very helpful and encouraging and the Master of Professional Communications helped me find closure. Overall, ECU is a great place and gaining education there was a wonderful experience. I am glad I went.”
