At our April 2024 graduations, 36 UniSC graduands 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.
One of the outstanding Student Leadership Award recipients, Bree Glasbergen, said it was her volunteering and co-curricular activities such as leading Student Guild-affiliated clubs, and organising events and online spaces to foster community and belonging which led to her receiving the award.
"This award recognises students who go beyond their required coursework and provides tangible recognition for their contributions during graduation, aiding in showcasing their efforts to prospective employers," Bree said.
