[Felix Hughes @NUS_President]

Great to speak at @uniaus conference last week! Well funded representation on campus, better working conditions for staff, a funding injection, and a complete rethink of relationship between students and the university administration is the way to improve the student experience

[sally varnham @varnamo]

But need for effective means of listening and embedding student voices within what we do

[sally varnham @varnamo]

Great Kirby shout out for public education. So looking forward to his wise words again #uaconf2020

Bravo Kirby arguing for the huge importance of student voices

[Universities Australia @uniaus]

As universities, our main concern is the wellbeing of our students. @georgie_harman, @christiewhite13, @CAPAPresident, and @JasonTrethowan discuss mental health among students at Australian unis. #UAConf2020

#UAconf2020 Keeping staff and students well makes economic sense.

[Ruth Greenaway @RuthGreenaway26]

#UAConf2020 Our Universities should protect the social and emotional wellbeing of students. Mental heath matters.

As a past student activist, I’m loving hearing the Hon Michael Kirby’s reflections on his #student activism & questioning how we in #HigherEducation are fostering public #debate, funding student activities & instilling the spirit of #liberty for the future? #uaconf2020 #education

[Jack Goodman @jackaroo2000]

Michael Kirby’s voice, cadence and delivery is such that every word he speaks carries enormous weight. It’s an amazing skill. #uaconf2020

Hon Michael Kirby
@uniaus must do better on teaching-research nexus & assuring student experience.
Good research is no automatic assurance of good teaching. Look at the data - it tells a story we must heed
