Why student representation is important
Student representation provides opportunities for students and staff to work in partnership to address key challenges facing the student cohort.
At UOW, student representation takes a variety of forms such as formal representation on Academic Governance bodies including Academic Senate and its’ Subcommittees, ¾«¶«´«Ã½ Council, Faculty Committees and the Student Advisory Council. It also includes informal occasions for the student perspective to be heard, such as through clubs and societies, working groups and focus groups.
At UOW, we believe students are equal partners in their higher education journey. This is solidified in the , signed by the Vice-Chancellor and Student Advisory Council Chair in 2021. In this agreement, the ¾«¶«´«Ã½ has agreed to engage more deeply with students as trusted partners in learning, teaching, curriculum and campus life.
I love being able to represent my peers.
