Join us for the launch of Refugees at University: Access, Belonging, and What Comes After by Dr Olga Oleinikova and Janet Ge, the first book to focus specifically on the post-graduation experiences of refugee scholarship recipients.

Join us as we celebrate the book’s publication, bringing together researchers, community leaders, students, alumni and sector partners to reflect on the impact of humanitarian scholarships and the experiences of refugee-background graduates in Australia.

Hear insights from the authors, sector leaders and a UTS Humanitarian Scholarship Program graduate, and explore how universities, communities and support networks can help create pathways to belonging, participation and success long after graduation.
