Working as a Sydney 2000 Olympics volunteer will give School of Clinical Sciences associate lecturer Luke Barclay the chance to see a side of elite international competitors that very few will ever see - their insides.

Luke is a member of the medical imaging lecturing staff at the Wagga Wagga Campus and is about to become a Medical Olympic Volunteer for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Luke will run some of the diagnostic services in the Olympic Village, working as a radiographer in the Poly Clinic, which is the hospital for athletes and their entourage in the Olympic Village. His main role will be operating a Computerised Tomography Unit (CAT scan) and managing the computed radiography section.

Luke is also a CSU graduate who left the Wagga Campus with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Imaging) seven years ago. He has since been working in medical radiography at the New Children's Hospital in Sydney until the start of this year, when he returned to CSU to take up his lecturing appointment.

Luke is taking leave from the University on 25 August to assume the new role in Sydney for the duration of the Games.
