A few words from our Vice-Chancellor and President
– Professor Andrew Parfitt
UTS is and has always been an outward-looking university. We have a diverse student population, world-renowned academics, incredible infrastructure and a location in the heart of a major tech precinct. Social impact, technology, innovation and creativity are at the heart of everything we do.
Importantly, we are a university for all. Access to higher education and new knowledge and innovation is still uneven in Australia. Across the university, we are working to remove systemic barriers through programs and initiatives that address inequality and ensure that students from the widest range of backgrounds have an opportunity to attend university.
Education, research and community underpin universities. At UTS, social justice and our commitment to delivering public good are embedded and fundamental to our purpose, driving our agenda and impacting society.
We are energised by our transformative partnerships in research, education and practice. Our Social Impact Framework provides a roadmap for disrupting current structures and gives people the tools to fight injustice. It also keeps the university accountable to our purpose as an agent for social change.
I am proud of the work and impact that continues to be achieved at UTS and am pleased to share this report on that impact with you.
