Calling all UQ Anthropology Students
We are convening a couple of workshops/webinars with industry leaders who have used their anthropology degrees to work in interesting careers beyond the academy for students to learn from, discuss and engage with. The next one will be on August 26 at 4 pm with Dr Thomas Wright, who is a design consultant using his anthropological insights to make the world a better place.
This event is open to any student studying anthropology through UQ, but places are limited, so please register here:

UQ Anthropology Beyond the Academy : Thomas Wright A rare opportunity to listen to and learn from the experiences of those practising anthropology successfully beyond the academy.

First-year and final-year undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students are invited to participate in the Student Experience Survey (SES) via an online questionnaire.

The SES is a national survey conducted in August each year for the Australian Government Department of Education and Training. The Social Research Centre (SRC) administers the survey on the government's behalf.

We encourage all students to participate. The survey provides you with the opportunity to talk about your university experience, and all responses are confidential.

UQ uses the results to make improvements to teaching and learning, as well as student services and support at the University. It also gives us a valuable insight into the experiences of UQ students.

The results from the survey will be made public via the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) website to help current and future students make informed decisions about their study options.

More information about the SES can be found at www.ses.edu.au.
