The University of Southern Queensland (USQ) is a medium-sized, regional university based in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia,[1] with three university campuses at Toowoomba, Springfield and Ipswich.[2] It offers courses in law, health, engineering, the sciences, business, education, and the arts.[2] The institution was established in 1967 as the Darling Downs campus of the Queensland Institute of Technology. In 1970, the institution had provided studying programs for rural Queensland and international communities.[1][3] In 1971, it became the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education, then the University College of Southern Queensland in 1990 and finally the University of Southern Queensland in 1992. It operates three research institutes and seven research centres which focus on a wide range of business, agricultural, scientific, environmental, and technological issues.

The university is recognised for having the largest Japanese-designed garden in Australia[4], Australia's largest solar integrated carpark[5], and a library with rainforest and water features[6]. In 2017, the university won the international Green Gown award for its approach to sustainability focusing on renewable energy, waste reduction, water retention, and integration of sustainability into strategic planning.[5]

In 2012, the university's archeologists discovered the Australian oldest rock art of 28,000 years old in the shelter of Australian Northern Territory[7], and in 2018, the university's astronomers discovered a new planet that orbits an ancient star almost 2 billion years older than the sun[8] [9]

The university is recognised for its efforts in preventing violence against women[10] and cited as employer of choice for gender equality by the Federal Government’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA)[11].

History

Overview

Queensland Institute of Technology (Darling Downs) opened on 2 February 1967 in Toowoomba. It had 140 foundation students.[12] In 1971, the institute became the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education (DDIAE). Managed by its own College Council, DDIAE educated 75% of the country's international students in the 1986-1987 school year.[12] From 1980 to 1990, DDIAE grew significantly from 1,000 to 8,000 full-time student equivalents (EFTSL).[12] It became the University College of Southern Queensland (UCSQ) in 1990,[12] under the sponsorship of the University of Queensland.[13] In 1992, the institution became the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) when it gained full university status.[12] USQ was a founding member of the Regional Universities Network that was launched in 2011.[14] The Network's research in 2013 showed that USQ generated $411.7 million into the economy of Queensland every year as well as household income of $255.4 million and 3,313 jobs in the communities of Toowoomba, Fraser Coast, and Springfield[15]. Along with Toowoomba's investments in data centers, landscaped and business parks, air and land infrastructures, USQ has been contributing an important part in making the region a centre of agribusiness, sustainable development, and trade.

Dellys Kelly's Legacy

At the age of 26, Mrs Dellys Kelly, also known as 'the Little Lady', was a young mother of two sons and working as a manager at East Greenmount[19]. In 1958, with a map bought from Warwick News, she drove her FJ Holden to Canberra to start her campaign for a new university in Toowoomba[20]. After driving to the Parliament House and asking to meet with Prime Minister Robert Menzies, she was challenged by the Prime Minister to raise 30,000 pounds before he would discuss about a new university in Toowoomba[19]. She received strong support from the community, and after eleven weeks, the money was raised.[20] In 1960, the Darling Down University Establishment Association was founded as fundament to the establishment of USQ in the future.[20] Generations of students, both in Australia and overseas, respect and admire her for the enormous efforts in establishing a world-class university in Toowoomba region.[20] For many years after the establishment of USQ, she had continued her leading role in raising funds to build 4DDBFM radio station, Mount Kent Observatory, and other facilities at USQ. She ran campaign for MP Ian Macfarlane in conjunction with fundraising for USQ[19]. She was made an University Fellow in 2009 for her distinguished merits, and she is regarded as 'a giant among giants'[21] and 'absolute dynamo' in education not only for her undefeatable spirit and eminent endeavors in fostering the values of education, but also for her 'great source of common sense' and supports[19]. After eight decades living with her family in Toowoomba, she passed away on 1 March at Toowoomba Hospice[19].
