UQ formalises partnership with Brisbane Broncos

The Brisbane Broncos have an official university partner, The University of Queensland, under an arrangement announced today. UQ Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Peter Høj and Brisbane Broncos CEO Paul White said the partnership recognised existing linkages in teaching and research activities and a desire to strengthen those links. "The Broncos are synonymous with success - both on the football field and in the business world," Professor Høj said. "They have fans right across the state's regional and rural centres, plus plenty of loyal followers interstate. "UQ is proud to be associated with the Broncos and we look forward to building a strong partnership that benefits both organisations." Mr White said UQ and the Broncos shared many values. "The Brisbane Broncos are delighted to be extending our long-running educational partnership with an iconic Queensland organisation The University of Queensland into a more formal agreement," he said. "We share many values with UQ and look forward to working with them to tell their wonderful story across the state through our fans, our match days and our events across Queensland." The Broncos have remained one of the most successful NRL clubs since their inception in 1988, winning five NRL premierships (1992, 1993, 1998, 2000, 2006) and a Super League premiership (1997).
