The Global Marquee, made up of stalls outlining information about each campus, will offer prospective students and members of the public a glimpse into what studying at a global university entails.<\/p>\n
By using a \u2018Looper\u2019, a multi-lens system equipped with 26 cameras, prospective students will also be transported \u2013 with the use of a green screen \u2013 to the various locations of Curtin\u2019s campuses and provided a specially designed GIF video to share via their social media networks.<\/p>\n
For the first time this year, Curtin\u2019s Open Day will also be broadcast over Facebook Live between 11am and 1pm (AWST) with tailored information for regional and international students who cannot attend the event.<\/p>\n
Â鶹ֱ²¥ Corporate Relations Vice-President Ms Valerie Raubenheimer said the University was now a truly global university and this year\u2019s Open Day aimed to connect every campus.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom Dubai\u2019s skyscrapers and the bright lights of Singapore to the white sandy beaches of Mauritius and traditional dancers from Malaysia, this year\u2019s Open Day will also include Indigenous art in recognition of our two Western Australian campuses in Perth and Kalgoorlie,\u201d Ms Raubenheimer said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the opening of our fourth international campus in Mauritius this year, Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s global footprint now traces the Indian Ocean rim and we felt it was important to have all our campuses as well as our diverse multicultural student population represented at the University\u2019s largest annual event.<\/p>\n
\u201cProspective students and members of the public will be able to gain an insight into the full Curtin experience with displays, attractions and activities covering the range of courses and locations on offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
