Hear From Our Outgoing Postgraduate Council

“Being on the PGC has greatly enhanced my leadership skills, providing me with invaluable opportunities to network and collaborate with diverse individuals and groups. The experience has been both professionally rewarding and personally enriching – it has enabled me to drive meaningful changes within the community that I am also a part of.”

"My time on the PGC was incredibly rewarding, despite the challenges of balancing it with my studies and personal commitments towards the end. I gained valuable insight into university governance and honed my advocacy skills, particularly when representing postgraduate concerns to university administration. Organizing events catered to the PG student community taught me a lot about leadership and teamwork under pressure, the skills that I'll carry forward into my future endeavors."

“Being a part of the PGC not only enhanced my leadership experience but it also gave me the chance to play a key role in shaping UNSW policies in the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion space and importantly, be a voice for Postgraduate students affected by gendered violence. It’s been an incredible journey of growth and impact!”

"Serving as the VP International has greatly enhanced my advocacy and leadership skills and provided valuable networking opportunities with students and university officials. It has been a rewarding experience that allowed me to contribute to meaningful changes in the proposed 485 visa policy and foster a supportive community."

“Being the Equity team Committee Liaison in the PGC allowed me to meet amazing people while having fun advocating for equity and inclusion issues I'm deeply passionate about. Through this experience, I developed my leadership and teamwork skills, creating lasting connections with like-minded postgrad students who are also committed to positive change”
