Regional Universities Network (RUN) HEPPP Project

Do you teach or support students living in regional and remote areas of Australia? Are you a lecturer, a faculty librarian, a Head of School, an Academic Skills Office lecturer, or are you just passionate about supporting regional students at UNE? If so, we’d like to hear from you!

Our research is exploring how universities and public libraries can work together to facilitate regional student success. We’re conducting informal 30-60 minute telephone interviews with UNE staff members, and in recognition of your time we’re offering a $30 EFTPOS gift card.

You will be invited to share your experience of the study and learning needs of rural university students you’ve supported, and any opportunities you see for collaborations with regional public libraries.

If you would like to participate in an interview, please email the USQ-based research assistant Jenny Ostini on Jenny.Ostini@usq.edu.au to arrange a date and time that suits you.

Feel free to forward this information on to other UNE staff that might be interested in participating.

For more information, please contact Jenny Ostini to obtain the Participant Information Sheet and our website: http://workingtogether.org.au/

Thank you for your consideration of our study.
