Congratulations to School of Accounting and Commercial Law student Nataly Noguer Blue, who won the award for the Best Poster in the Faculty of Commerce Summer Gold Posters Competition with "Measuring Impact in the Voluntary Sector".

From November 2012 to February 2013, a number of Summer Scholars were hosted within SACL and surrounding businesses, working on projects as diverse as 'valuing volunteers to the tax implications of imported goods' to 'companies’ carbon policies'.

These scholars continued the tradition of the past three years where over 1100 students have held Victoria University scholarships as part of the Summer Scholars Scheme. As well as writing reports, scholars are invited to submit a poster describing their work and its results.

SACL Summer Scholars included:

  • Nataly Noguer Blue: "Measuring Impact in the Voluntary Sector" (supervisors Drs Carolyn Cordery – SACL and Karen Smith – School of Management), co-sponsored by Volunteering New Zealand. To view the report please visit the Volunteering New Zealand website. To view Nataly's poster click here.
