This year’s summer school for Indigenous research students, run by the Melbourne Poche Centre for Indigenous Health, and the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education, saw one of the highest levels of participation in its 13 year history.

Originally established under the direction of Professor Marcia Langton, the program welcomed 27 students from all states and territories. Thanks for the generosity of an anonymous donor, the University covered flights and accommodation for students who needed to travel.

Professor Shaun Ewen from the Poche Centre said, "The University has a commitment, codified through the Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), to support and accelerate Indigenous development, which includes establishing more avenues for Indigenous students to participate in the knowledge economy."
