Creating an environment of student partnership in all that we do.
At the University of Wollongong (UOW), we are embracing the concept of students as partners, which emphasises collaboration, consultation and shared decision-making between students and staff within the university environment.
At the University of Wollongong, we are creating an environment of student partnership in all that we do.
Our students as trusted partners framework identifies how students’ valuable insights and experiences can be included to improve our operations.
From teaching and learning, to strategy, governance, facilities and more - anywhere a decision is being made that will affect UOW students, our goal is that students can and should be a part of that process.
Through our Students as Trusted Partners framework, students will take an active role in their education, shaping their time at UOW. They will be making the most of their student journey and leaving the legacy of a better student experience.
Students will share their voices in a safe, respectful and supportive environment and make genuine connections with fellow students, as well as UOW staff.
Students can participate in a range of ways, including via consultation programs, by taking a leadership role in student advisory bodies and more.
Our Students as Trusted Partners framework is about curiosity, leadership and service - we invite students to partner with us and affect the change they would like to see.
Becoming active participants in the UOW community will benefit our students now, as well as into their futures.
I hope it lights a flame that our students can take into life beyond university, as they find their own unique strengths, and continue to contribute as engaged members of all their communities.
