National Indigenous Learning Support Conference
Now in its eighth year, the annual National Indigenous Learning Support Conference is an essential forum for those driving Indigenous outcomes in higher education.
Network Meeting 1: Indigenous Student Success – Where are we now, what works and what’s next?
This is the first meeting of the National Indigenous Learning Support Network!
To kick things off we will engage in a bit of an introduction and overview of Indigenous student success at universities in Australia.
Facilitated by:
Professor Braden Hill (Deputy Vice Chancellor - Students, Equity and Indigenous ECU)
Professor Martin Nakata (Deputy Vice Chancellor - Indigenous Education and Strategy JCU)
Chanelle van den Berg (Pro Vice Chancellor First Nations)
This is an opportunity have a conversation amongst colleagues doing this work to set priorities for the network over the next few year. It is also a great way to connect, share good practice and learn together.
