I am thrilled to have been invited to be a part of the Project Governance Group (PGG) for the development of a single student representative body for Swinburne University. It is an honour to be selected as one of nine students to represent the voices of the Swinburne student community in this exciting project.
I appreciate the University's commitment to involving students in the decision-making process, as evidenced by the establishment of the PGG. I am excited to work alongside my fellow PGG members, both on-campus and online students, to contribute our perspectives and ideas to develop a model for a single student representative body that represents the interests and needs of all Swinburne students.
I am also grateful for the financial compensation provided for our time and effort in attending the PGG meetings. This shows the University's recognition and appreciation of the value of our input.
I look forward to engaging in fruitful discussions over the ten meetings and collaborating with the PGG to agree on options for a single student representative body. I am confident that, with our collective efforts, we can develop a model that reflects the diversity and inclusivity of the Swinburne student community.
Thank you once again for this opportunity, and I am excited to be working with the PGG and Swinburne University on this project.
