Student Advisory Groups
Advisory groups are concerned with a particular topic (e.g. mental health, or promoting community engagement amongst under-represented student groups), and provide advice to UQ governing bodies on those issues.
Committees reach out to advisory groups to get their opinion on proposed policy, and work on their recommendations to implement change at UQ.
Advisory groups can help you:
- contribute to policy-making at UQ
- learn how governance works at a large scale organisation
