In our first 30 years, almost 30,000 alumni have graduated from Bond University. To celebrate our 30th anniversary, we’re showcasing some of the past students who have paved the way for the next generation of Bondies.
Meet Han Lian.
What is your current role?
Project Manager at RPS Group.
Where are you based?
Melbourne.
Why did you choose to attend Bond?
Small class, diversity.
What are your recollections of your time here?
Never a dull moment! I was always busy with social life and/or study -- didn’t have much time for sleep.
How has being a Bond graduate helped you in your career?
I could fast track my student life without missing anything.
What have been your career highlights so far?
Expatting in Jakarta as the youngest player in the oil and gas industry. Australian Institute of Project Management Achievement Awards -- best project team member (national winner 2017).
What advice would you give to current Bondies?
Keep an open mind and if in doubt ask, “What have I got to lose?”
What does it mean to you to be a Bondy?
Very proud. Most Bondies turned out really well in their own way. Fun to hang out with and good connections to keep.
What is your favourite memory of Bond?
Everything with my friends, especially the morning-after parties -- we bounced back really quick in those days.
