Hey I’m at the City Campus, I’m at an event at the moment
So this is an example of one of the off campus teaching facilities that we offer at La Trobe, another example is the clinical school that we have at um, the Austin hospital which is for nursing students, and this particular facility is for post graduate business students, so we offer MBA courses, and master of management.
So our city campus has been compared to the likes of the Qantas club or the Virgin Lounge, and as you can see it’s pretty flash, and it’s the perfect place to come and have a coffee and read the paper before class.
So at the city campus it’s amazing who you’ll run into. I’ve just run into James Faulks, who’s the face of the course guide. 
Thanks Tom, yeah, tonight we’ve had an alumni student ambassador event. So I used to be a student ambassador at La Trobe, and for two years it was an absolutely fantastic program. If you’re a student at La Trobe, get into it; try and get into it, it’s fantastic. I fully recommend that, but now we’ve got an alumni ambassador program, which I’m very much passionate about. We’ll be helping out many different school programs, through giving presentations to high school kids, ahh working at Open Day, trying to give our experiences on where we’ve come from, from just being students at La Trobe, but now being working professionals, and it’s a great opportunity to be able to give something back to La Trobe, which has obviously given so much to us.
So as a La Trobe graduate, what are you doing now James? So as a La Trobe graduate, I’m currently working at Telstra, in a graduate program, as a finance grad. Ahh rotating through the taxation department now. It’s given me a lot of knowledge that I’ve taken from my undergraduate studies, doing commerce and economics, so it’s a big challenge, for one; taking that theoretical knowledge and turning it into the practical, and applying it day to day in a large company like Telstra has been um lifesaving, I really have to say. It’s absolutely fantastic to be able to turn that theoretical knowledge that you may think might apply in your day to day courses, and your lecturer might, present to you how it might apply in business, but to see it actually apply in real life in day to day circumstances, it’s fantastic. 
So do you think La Trobe prepared you for your current job? It’s more than prepared me, ah I really tried to get involved at La Trobe being a student ambassador, and the skills that I’ve learnt being an ambassador; presenting to large high school groups, coordinating sort of events as well, has really prepared me to work in the professional business world.
So um, yeah, this is one of the off campus teaching facilities that la Trobe offers, and I hope you’ve enjoyed having a brief tour around it, an um, meeting one of our alumni ambassadors, Um so that’s all for today, and I’ll see you again soon.
