While Bond Open Day will look a little bit different this year, it will still be just as eye-opening, informative, and exciting as it always is. We’re bringing Bond University’s campus, facilities and courses directly to you, live through our camera teams, by our hosts.
Hosting this year’s live broadcast and jam-packed schedule are some very talented and familiar faces (hint: all three are Bondies – one is an adopted Bondy, none are camera shy, and one hosted Bond Open Day Live 2019).
Get to know each of our hosts below ahead of our Bond Open Day live broadcast kicking off at 12pm AEST this Saturday, 25 July.
