Hi guys

I think it's a fair question to ask, thanks Eris and Mish.

It was my decision to offer support to give the top graduate a free membership at Tractor. We would have liked to offer a free membership to all participating students, but we couldn't afford to do that. 

Saying that, we support all educational institutions in various ways through the year through holding events on campus, through the student council, speaking/lecturing, mentoring as well as offering free membership to the various awards that they hold each year.

We have offered memberships to Swinburne, RMIT, VUT in the past and will continue to do so; including any other educational institutions who support graphic design in Victoria.

Many of the people on Tractor's lecture panel have served on AGDA, myself included. I don't see anything wrong with this as we continually lecture/speak at universities public and private all the time. The fact that most of the panel has served on the AGDA council at some time in their history shows the dedication these people have in rolling up their sleeves and doing something for the industry.

Tractor, like many of the educational institutions we work with have close industry connections and from time to time tap into these. There is nothing wrong with that either.

If you have any questions about this, or anything else about AGDA Vic, we're always happy to have a chat. 

You can email me direct through my profile on this website if you like, or you are more than welcome to come to one of our events or meetings as well to get an insight into how things are run.

Thanks for the healthy discussion.
