Indigenous Engagement
We seek to foster, promote and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.
Welcome to the Indigenous Engagement Division
Our work is underpinned by a recognition of the enormous contributions that Indigenous peoples and perspectives bring to universities and an understanding of the transformative power of higher education for individuals and communities.
This work encompasses all of the University's operations - teaching and learning, research, engagement/enrichment and its physical and operating environments. The Division seeks to engage and activate the UQ leadership and community in a commitment to Reconciliation and to achieve the University's strategic goals.
The University of Queensland acknowledges the Traditional Owners and their custodianship of the lands on which UQ operates.
