The university has been recognised for its efforts in preventing violence against women^[10] and was cited as employer of choice for gender equality by the Federal Government's Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA).^[11]

In June 2022, the university announced it was changing its branding from USQ to UniSQ, accompanied by a change in logo.^[12]

History

Dellys Kelly

At the age of 26, Dellys Kelly was working as a manager at East Greenmount.^[13] In 1958, with a bought map, she drove to Canberra to start her campaign for a new university in Toowoomba.^[14] After driving to the Parliament House and asking to meet with Prime Minister Robert Menzies, she was challenged by him to raise £30,000 before he would discuss the issue.^[13] She received strong support from the community, and after eleven weeks, the money was raised.^[14] In 1960, the Darling Downs University Establishment Association was founded.^[14][a]

Overview

Queensland Institute of Technology (Darling Downs) opened on 2 February 1967 in Toowoomba, beginning with 140 foundation students.^[15] In 1971, the institute became the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education (DDIAE). Managed by its own College Council, DDIAE educated 75% of the country's international students in the 1986–1987 school year.^[15] From 1980 to 1990, DDIAE grew significantly from 1,000 to 8,000 full-time student equivalents (EFTSL).^[15] It became the University College of Southern Queensland (UCSQ) in 1990,^[15] under the sponsorship of the University of Queensland.^[16] In 1992, the institution became the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) when it gained full university status.^[15] USQ was a founding member of the Regional Universities Network that was launched in 2011.^[17] The Network's research in 2013 showed that USQ generated $411.7 million into the economy of Queensland every year as well as household income of $255.4 million and 3,313 jobs in the communities of Toowoomba, Fraser Coast, and Springfield.^[18] Along with Toowoomba's investments in data centers, landscaped and business parks, air and land infrastructures, UniSQ has been contributing to making the region a centre of agribusiness, sustainable development, and trade.^[19]

Notes

1. For many years after the establishment of USQ, she had continued her leading role in raising funds to build 4DDBFM radio station, Mount Kent Observatory, and other facilities at USQ. She ran a campaign for MP Ian Macfarlane in conjunction with fundraising for USQ. She was made a University Fellow in 2009 for fostering the values of education. After eight decades living with her family in Toowoomba, she died on 1 March ^[when?] at Toowoomba Hospice.
2. The University of Queensland (UQ) Ipswich Campus was transferred to UniSQ on 7 January 2015 following an agreement between the two universities. The decision to transfer the Campus was motivated by a desire to increase tertiary education opportunities in the region and to reflect the strategic objectives of each university.^[27]
