GUMURRII Student Success Unit events
Hands Up!
Each year, the GUMURRII Hands Up! pre-orientation program for commencing undergraduate students introduces students to the range of services offered and helps them to adapt to University life. Over a week long program, students are connected with the Griffith and GUMURRII community.
Campus orientation
Each trimester we host campus orientation sessions for new students. The sessions cover:
- staff introductions, roles and student support services
- unit facilities such as printing access codes, swipe cards, room bookings
- a campus tour
- safety and after-hours access
- First Peoples Tutoring for Success Program (TSP) and scholarships.
You'll also participate in a trimester planning workshop to ensure you're familiar with your courses, learning objectives and assessment dates. You will have the opportunity to network and meet current students in a relaxed setting and have any other questions answered.
During COVID-19 restrictions, orientation activities have been delivered online to ensure the safety of our communities.
Annual dates of cultural significance
Each year we acknowledge and engage in a number of events important to Indigenous Australian history, people and culture which draw together staff and students in a spirit of reconciliation. You can find out more at the First Peoples site.
