"The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself." - Oscar Wilde
The Distinguished Speaker Series is one of the unique opportunities open to students undertaking the GLP. A series of distinguished, high profile speakers will inspire and inform the Macquarie community.
At each event you will be exposed to the leadership and international experiences of professionals in academia, business, government, international relations and non-profit sectors. The presentation will be followed with a networking session where you can relax and meet other GLP participants, students, Macquarie faculty and members of the business community.
Students must attend 2 of these events a year, for each year that they are in the program.

"One of my favourite aspects of the GLP is the guest speaker series, where people of international calibre impart their knowledge, and invite students to challenge and learn from their wisdom."
