Along with the broader DAIP consultations, the University has commissioned an external review (Sept/Oct 2021) to focus on learning and teaching service provision for students with disability.

Thank you to all the postgraduate students who attended the GUPSA Special General Meeting (SGM) on 12 March 2020.
The SGM Minutes are available HERE
At the SGM, two motions were passed by majority vote:

On 1 June 2020, University Council approved GUPSA’s new constitution. It is available HERE.
When University Council approved the new GUPSA Constitution, it came into effect on 1 June 2020. Unfortunately, there was some miscommunication and lack of clarity around when the new GUPSA Board structure changes would come into effect.

Griffith is launching Empowering Learners, a new initiative promoting student mental health and well being through a Students as Partners approach. It is designed to prioritise the student voice and empower learners, and will provide a great opportunity to develop leadership and other transferable skills thus making students more employable. A key goal of the project is to help students build their own networks as they become engaged in the design and delivery of curriculum.
The project will promote student mental wellbeing through the design of effective learning environments that support student agency and empowerment, both within and external to the curriculum. By exploring the holistic experience of students, it will work out how to best partner with students to support their sense of belonging, autonomy, competence and purpose. That support is geared to develop student confidence in learning within and beyond Griffith. For students, getting involved with Empowering Learners gives you the opportunity to enhance your learning experience and strengthen your leadership skills on the job, while also influencing the way Griffith University supports all learners.
