Higher Degree Research Orientation

Friday 14 March 2014

@ Gardens Point

Thursday 20 March 2014

@ Kelvin Grove

In keeping with the spirit of Reconciliation,

I acknowledge the Turrbal, Jagera/Yuggera, Kabi Kabi and

Jinibara Peoples as the Traditional Owners of the lands where

QUT now stands – and recognise that these have always

been places of teaching and learning.

I wish to pay respect to their Elders – past, present and

emerging – and acknowledge the important role Aboriginal and

Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within the QUT

community.
