Diner en Blanc Event Assistants Needed

ECU has become a major sponsor of Diner en Blanc Perth at the inaugural launch of the event in March 2016. The event will also showcase ECU also as part of the university’s 25th Anniversary celebrations.

The event itself currently takes place in over 60 other cities around the world and also takes place in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne on an annual basis. Next year sees it launch onto the Perth summer calendar and the Perth team would love to have ECU students on board.
