Register for the Equity @ ACU Symposium, a free online event on 25 – 26 September featuring keynote addresses from leaders in equity research and award-winning educators.
At ACU, equity is everyone’s business, and the Equity Symposium will provide an opportunity to engage with leaders and experts across both the pre-tertiary and higher education sectors. Equity Symposium attendees can join for the full two days or individual sessions. Our keynote speakers will unpack equity and inclusion, emerging ideas and approaches to widening participation, and future directions of education in Australia.
