The Office of Engagement leads and manages UniSC’s commitment to working with and for our diverse communities to advance the social, economic, and environmental wellbeing of its regions and beyond.
This is achieved by connecting and collaborating with the University’s many stakeholders through two focus areas that enable UniSC to both serve and be informed through its non-exclusive outreach activities:
