Universities Australia – AAUT Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning 2020

 Awarded for the development of program wide resources which support business students’ professional literacies.

“This collaboration was well planned from the start arising from a defined need for better student support. The evidence that it arose from scholarly practice and included ensuring the availability of the right skills set, and resources and support from senior management is inspiring in a time when funding is tight. That so many students have used the suite and that student success is evident & is a credit to the team.
In sum, the application is very strong and demonstrates that the team has formed a strong practice and program that others can learn from.”
