Part Three: The student learning journey<br />

Leanne Booth — <strong>STEPS</strong> 1997<br />

Helpdesk Officer<br />

<strong>STEPS</strong> was definitely a turning point in my life. I<br />

am now employed at <strong>Central</strong> <strong>Queensland</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> and my colleagues joke that I will be<br />

Vice Chancellor some day as a result of my<br />

overwhelming bias and dedication to CQU. The<br />

knowledge, support, experience and advice<br />

offered by <strong>STEPS</strong> staff and students were — and<br />

continue to be — overwhelming, inspirational<br />

and irreplaceable. 242<br />

Jeffrey Glover — <strong>STEPS</strong> 1999<br />

Lecturer<br />

Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Education<br />

<strong>STEPS</strong> was a wonderful and enlightening<br />

experience and to become a lifelong learner was<br />

a gift of incalculable value. The lecturers in<br />

<strong>STEPS</strong> brought out the desire in me to follow<br />

my hitherto suppressed passion for language and<br />

literature. I went on to complete a double degree<br />

of a BA and B. Ed (Sec) passing both with<br />

distinction. Since graduation, I have worked as a<br />

teacher of English and the Study of Society for<br />

both Catholic and <strong>Queensland</strong> Education. I have<br />

also worked as a casual lecturer and tutor for<br />

CQU where I have taught the foundation subject<br />

‘Competence in English’ to Primary, Bachelor<br />

of Learning Management students. I am<br />

presently completing a Master of Education<br />

(Research) at CQU.<br />
