UNE has a remarkable record of achievement that illustrates how influential and successful this modest institution has been. Unfortunately, that record is fragmented at best, invisible at worst.

The Corporate Communications Unit is assembling a list of the university’s “points of pride” as a resource to be used when staff, students and other UNE ambassadors are travelling on UNE business. The intention is to build a resource that can be repeatedly drawn on to underpin UNE’s brand. Information will be updated as new achievements are made.

We are seeking your help as to what should be included in the list. Historical artifacts — “Pioneer in distance education” — are as relevant as contemporary facts — “Rated top in student satisfaction for 10 years running”.

A point of pride can be anything in which UNE has clearly excelled or punched above its weight. It could relate to our community outreach, international research footprint, teaching or research, innovation in education — anything that is noteworthy.

We value your thoughts.
