2017 EXEC
SECRETARY
TREASURER
Hannah
Bonjour mes ami QUT! No..I’m not french,
and I actually suck at learning languages...
but what I am good at is managing the
day-to-day operation of the QUT Guild’s
commercial services so we can remain a
financially independant organisation and
advocate for students, support clubs and
bring the best campus culture to all QUT
students.
How does a 19 year old, 3rd year Law/
Finance student run the QUT Guild? Well,
with the support of our General Manager,
Finance and Marketing team as well as
all the other store managers that run the
Botanic and Grove Bar, the General and
Corner Store, the Second-Hand Bookshop
and Academic Gowns. These are the core
businesses which help financially sustain
all the great work your Vice-Presidents do
on a daily basis, like your Toga Party and
Puppies and Pancakes.

At the Guild, we strongly believe taking
student’s money (SSAF) is against the
fundamental nature of being independent
from the university. Why is independence
important? Because without independance,
what good is a student representative body
going to be when they are being supplied
with funding from the very organisation
they’re trying to keep in check? This is why
it’s imperative that our commercial services
are successful, so we have the finance to
distribute back into the QUT community and
make your uni days, the best days of your
life! So that’s me, the one that deals with
HR, finance, legal matters and everything in
between. Do me a favour, and head to one
of our stores to pick up a Redbull - you’re
going to need it once you see what we have
planned for you this year!
Good luck friends, and I’ll see you on the
other side.
G’day everyone, I’m Bryson, and I’m
fortunate enough to be the 2017 Guild
Treasurer. I’d firstly like to welcome
everyone, from the older generation
returning for a career change, to you young
guns straight out of high school, rearing to
get into the ultimate lifestyle. I’ll be doing
a lot of work behind the scenes to make
sure you see the best services the Guild
can provide. I work mostly with clubs and
societies, helping them when they need,
and giving them an EPIC amount of funding
every semester. You’ll see me getting my fill
of mangoes at Australia’s #1 University bar,
right here, at Gardens Point. If you happen
to see me doing the coight, it’s probably
because I hit the cranberries a little hard,
so apologies in advance. If I could give my
first year self advice, it’d be to get involved
in as many clubs and societies as my liver
will allow, and play more social sport to
make up for the excessive carb intake. I
look forward to seeing you all around the
ridges, for another EPIC year.
