Hi, my name is Georgia Draper and I am the Administrative Officer at the Melbourne Campus here at ACU Engagement. I have been working with the ACU Engagement team for three months having previously worked with ACU’s Centre for Health and Social Research (CHaSR) as a research assistant.
At ACU Engagement I provide administrative support to the team. I am lucky enough to also contribute to the community engagement activities and opportunities for our staff and students. Recently I assisted with running the Homework Support program, and was involved with the organisation of the Read to Learn program and the Big Issue CEO selling event.
I enjoy working at ACU for the variety of tasks I am able to undertake in my role and am very much looking forward to the future of ACU Engagement.
ACU Engagement is committed to ensuring that all ACU staff and students have the opportunity to make a contribution to their community that is feasible and meaningful to them, whilst meeting community needs in a way that is valuable and respectful.
