Reconciliation Week Cocktail & Fundraiser
31 May 2018
In 2016 Macquarie University developed and released a ten-year Indigenous Strategy to commit ourselves to improving access and participation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at our University. Our RAP continues to compliment the Indigenous Strategy and further show our commitment towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education.
Our long-term reconciliation vision is to be a University characterised by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander excellence, and which has established models for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander success; from undergraduate pathways through to higher degree research and beyond. Macquarie University’s commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities includes producing the highest quality outcomes in all areas of teaching and research as well as the recruitment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and staff. The RAP is a tangible demonstration of Macquarie University’s commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and Communities.
This event will be held as a celebration to mark the 2nd year of Macquarie University’s RAP. It will celebrate Macquarie’s achievements towards reconciliation to date, as well as the achievements of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal staff that are contributing to Indigenous excellence at our University. The event will also raise funds for Aboriginal student scholarships.
