Why Cultural Connections?
The First Nations Student Success Officers acknowledge the complexities of online study and have designed the Cultural Connections Program to provide an interactive experience for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students. The program will be an experience to connect with other Indigenous Students at UniSQ, meet with UniSQ Staff and allow you to build knowledge in what services and support is available to you, as a current UniSQ Student. Cultural Connections is also open to on campus students who will greatly benefit from the program.
