Students leading the way in volunteering and entrepreneurship

At our September graduations, 21 UniSC graduates had even more to celebrate, as they received a Student Leadership Award alongside their degrees at ceremonies in Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and the Fraser Coast.

The Student Leadership Award recognises students’ professional development, co-curricular learning, and distinguished contributions to the University and wider community while studying at UniSC.

As well as giving students opportunities to unlock their potential through co-curricular activities, the Student Leadership Awards adds value to their resume and job applications by showing enhanced employability and leadership skills to future employers.

There are five categories for the Award, and students choose to engage in any or all of them. These include voluntary contributions and community engagement, work experience and industry connections, professional development and learning enrichment, research and development, and entrepreneurship and innovation.

We’re creating a better tomorrow not just for our students, but for their communities and planet, by encouraging and promoting student leadership and volunteering initiatives.
