Equity

Equity Pippa

Hi postgraduate students! The main duties of the Equity Office Bearer are to be a contact point for all postgraduate students regarding issues of equity, and to continue to work towards a fair and safe university environment for everyone. Equity encompasses factors including, but not limited to: gender, sexuality, race, culture, age, relationship status, health, ability and socioeconomic status.

I am here to respond to questions, ideas and thoughts, and am a contact point for information, advocacy and support for all postgraduate students. Please email me, Pippa Markham, via pgc.equity@arc.unsw.edu.au.

Campaigns

In conjunction with the SRC I am currently working on a Student Life and Learning initiative to foster communication and promote well being for all UNSW students. Funding is currently being sought. More details to come.
