Welcome to UTS

I'm Andrew Parfitt, the Vice Chancellor and President here at UTS. I'd like to warmly welcome you to the UTS community.

This orientation we have a variety of face-to-face sessions and experiences to welcome new students to our vibrant campus. In addition to this, we're also offering online activities and resources for those who can't be here in person.

So, whether you're starting your UTS journey on campus, online or in a blend of the two, we want to ensure you're set up to have a successful start at UTS.

I also want to reassure you that we take your safety very seriously and a covert safe environment is a top priority. We're doing everything we can to support you during your time at university and to ensure that our campus is an engaging place for our entire community. During orientation, I encourage you to attend your faculty welcome.

Get involved in as many of the activities as possible throughout the week and please remember that you have access to a range of free study and academic support services as well as counselling, financial and careers support, all designed to help you make the most of your time at UTS. Don't hesitate to reach out whenever you need to. We're here to help.

University is much more than what you'll learn in the classroom. It's an opportunity to make lifelong friends and open yourself up to new experiences and ideas. So I encourage you to get involved in all the clubs, societies and activities university life has to offer. I know this is just the beginning of your time at UTS but I hope you'll make every minute of it count.

You'll form friendships, make memories, create networks and learn lessons that will last you a lifetime. I hope you enjoy your very first session at UTS.

Good luck with your studies and again welcome to UTS.

Hello and welcome to UTS. My names Michael McDaniel, I'm the Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Indigenous Leadership and Engagement, here. UTS of course, stands on Gadigal Country and as a university, we not only have a outstanding reputation in terms of, academic excellence, but a strong commitment to social inclusion and social justice and making a real positive change to society.

At UTS, our approach to Indigenous education and research is underpinned by a philosophy, that Indigenous education is about nation building. It's about bringing us all together, having a shared inheritance and looking forward to a prosperous and more egalitarian society. Regarding that, we have seen a number of positive achievements here at UTS. One of them that we are most proud of is, UTS Indigenous Graduate Attribute. That is a commitment that all UTS graduates will have an assessed professional capacity to work with and for Indigenous Australians. Another area of pride for us is our research which is Indigenous led and is committed to having tangible and positive impacts for indigenous communities across Australia.

If you're an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person joining us at UTS, I'd just like to bring to your attention the existence of our Indigenous Support Centre, which is Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research. Through Jumbunna, you'll be able to connect with other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, but also possibly find support, advice, at those times that you may need them.

So, welcome to UTS, enjoy your time with us and I wish you all the very best.
