The Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Mr Graham Quirk recently appointed 28 students representing 23 different countries as Brisbane’s 2012 International Student Ambassadors.
We caught up with a couple of the Griffith Students from the International Ambassadors program and had a chat with them about their expectations of the program and their love of Brisbane.
