2011年，史凯特从墨尔本大学毕业后来到中国，先后在南宁、台北学习中文，2013年开始在清华攻读环境科学与工程学硕士，2015年开始攻读博士。在清华这几年，她不仅运用自己的专业知识在山西饮用水除砷公益项目中提出切实可行的解决措施，还在中澳青年之间搭建起交流沟通的桥梁。导师刘书明副教授评价说：“史凯特在清华的成长过程是环境学院这几年构建全球环境人才培养体系的缩影，也是清华大学国际化人才培养的一个缩影。希望她毕业后能够带着清华的精神，继续攀登，为环境保护做出更大贡献。”
This report summarises the ninth ACYD held in Melbourne from 2-5 November. It also tracks our progress towards our ultimate goal: enhancing and cultivating aspirational exchanges between outstanding and diverse Australian and Greater Chinese citizens between the ages of 25-40 years of age. ACYD never before has encountered a time when its opportunity and challenges have been greater in terms of advancing the relationship in a manner that is fundamental to Australia’s future in the region, and how China positions itself regionally and globally.
Earlier this week an inspiring publication was launched which celebrates the Australia-China Council's achievements in fostering people-to-people links during the past 40 years was launched. This event and book launch was at the Australian Embassy in Beijing, with ACYD Board member and 2013 Alumna Cindy Gottinger as emcee.
Meeting ACYD is one kind of fate. Amazing and Fantastic.
ACYD 2018 was diverse and dynamic, which brought macro- and micro- perspectives and created an open and pleasant atmosphere to have in-depth discussions on various and important issues in the past four days. I did not realize how much I enjoyed ACYD until I recalled my endless happy memories with my friends back to China. I strongly recommend that more young talents should join ACYD family to grow people-to-people links between our two countries.
On 24th November 2018, the Australia China Alumni Awards were announced at the Westin Beijing Chaoyang Hotel. Lisa Qin, a 2013 alumna of ACYD was awarded winner of the category AIDE – Young Australia China Alumni of the Year Award. Congratulations Lisa!
参加中澳青年对话（ACYD）是一段美妙的历程。这次对话活动既倡导了深层次多维度的思维碰撞，又精心设置了许多令人充分体验澳洲美好和促进团队合作的多彩环节。几天来的思想激荡和头脑风暴，使我对澳大利亚的政治、文化，特别是在各个领域实现中澳合作的探索，有了更为深刻的理解和启发。很荣幸能加入到ACYD大家庭中，拥有不同专业背景的我们来自于五湖四海，不过我们都有着促进中澳友好合作的共同目标。我相信在不远的将来，多种行业互动与多维人际推广之下，中澳关系必将迎来新的发展篇章！
