Centre of Excellence for Equity in Higher Education

Student and community programs

Working directly with students and communities to support people from diverse and under-represented backgrounds access, engage and succeed in higher education and lifelong learning.

Our programs are guided by a shared approach called Relational Navigation which focuses on building strong, respectful relationships.

These programs are research informed and co-designed with students and communities. The team are actively involved with specialist community sectors.

For more information about the Relational Navigator concept, please contact Emily Fuller at emily.fuller@newcastle.edu.au.
