Meet our Student Representatives on UOW Committees
UOW depend on many committees and working groups to improve the university – including teaching, research, safety, and financial committees. HDR representatives attend many of these committees, primarily to contribute towards decisions that could benefit HDR candidates.
At UOW, the Graduate Research Committee, the University Research Committee and the Research Infrastructure Committee reach decisions about policies, procedures, and practices to improve research and research training at the university.
Four HDR representatives attend these committees:
Lisa Kilgariff
lek77@uowmail.edu.au
Megan Powley
mjp94@uowmail.edu.au
You are welcome to contact these HDR representatives about any concerns or suggestions that feel could inform the Graduate Research Committee or University Research Committee. These concerns or suggestions might include challenges or changes that are not necessarily specific to your discipline or matters that you feel your school has been unable to resolve.
