Engagement Projects 

UWS Engagement strives to exchange knowledge, harness community expertise and energy for mutual benefit, and to establish strategic alliances that contribute to Greater Western Sydney’s development, prosperity and social capital. 

The UWS Engagement Unit works collaboratively with the other Units, UWS Colleges and Schools to achieve engagement goals prescribed within the University’s strategic plan.  

UWS Engagement is responsible for:

Developing sustainable partnerships with local organisations, residents, government, industry and business through a diverse range of outreach programs and research projects enabling collaboration and broad community engagement with the University of Western Sydney to attain prescribed learning, teaching and research outcomes.

The UWS Engagement team regularly attends local community networks and forums and receives visits from students and academics from Australia and overseas. We work collectively with individuals and groups internally and externally and provide opportunities for students to work as volunteers, interns or gain work place experience with our community partners. Often we work collaboratively with internal and external partners on projects and programs which have attracted funding.
