Community and Partners

UOW is committed to advancing our community through education and improving lives through research.

Welcome to Community and Partners

Community Engagement at the University of Wollongong involves reaching out to establish and grow important relationships with our communities. The UOW Planning Statement 2008-10 defines Community Engagement as “mutually rewarding partnerships with our varied communities ... to build and sustain successful relationships with business, industry and other community groups.”

The Office of Community and Partnerships can help you access and connect with the University.

Give a Gift that Counts!

The 2009 UOW Cares Christmas Giving Campaign has just been launched. The Campaign allows staff to give a gift that counts this Christmas by making a donation to one of the UOW Cares charities. By donating to UOW Cares, staff will receive the benefit of a convenient donation system via payroll deduction, an immediate tax deduction and 100% of their gift goes straight to the chosen charity. Your gift recipient can receive a UOW Cares Christmas gift card which includes information on how your gift is making a difference.

This year UOW, ITC, URAC and UniCentre staff are able to make a gift to any of the UOW Cares supported charities. The supported charities include Oxfam Australia, The Smith Family, Indigo Foundation, Para Meadows School, The Fred Hollows Foundation, The NSW Cancer Council, RSPCA, Australian Conservation Foundation, Aspect South Coast School and the University of Wollongong Equity Fund.

Over $1200 was raised during last year’s Christmas Campaign thanks to the generosity of staff, and this year is sure to be even more successful with your help!

All the information about how you can participate can be found here.
