Where are they now
Brendan Powell
Brendan, an early career academic, was formerly the Indigenous Services Coordinator for USC for 6 years. However, following the completion of his MBA in 2005, Brendan began tutoring part-time and in July 2007 moved to the Faculty of Business full-time.
His position of Teaching and Research Fellow includes the completion of a PhD. The research topic for the PhD is Motivators and Barriers to Participation in Social Sport. Brendan was highly involved in sport from a young age, and possesses a keen interest in social sport, particularly on the Sunshine Coast. These things helped motivate his topic selection.
