Driving social impact at UTS
As a public purpose institution, UTS is committed to driving social change within and beyond our campus. Our social impact agenda focuses research, education and practice from across the university to benefit people and communities.
The Centre for Social Justice & Inclusion is a gateway for community organisations, not-for-profits, social purpose businesses and individuals to engage with the university's resources and expertise to maximise social impact.
