As Senior IT co-ordinator at CQUni’s Brisbane campus, Matt Long is usually the go-to-guy when you have an IT-related problem. Although he’s a man of few words, he definitely has a sense of humour, which no doubt helps him and his team deal with massive logistical tasks, like assisting with the ongoing Brisbane Campus renovation project.
