Great news for UniSkills that it has been successful in winning the Australian Teaching and Learning Council award for Support of Student Learning in the category of First Year. We prepared a submission back in July and were really not expecting to be successful because the competition is pretty strong. But the Uniskills program is 21 years old this year and we thought that was a strong 'hook' on which to hang an argument about the value of a program that has had over 4,000 students be part of it over the years.

A big part of the submission was the great contribution of students as leaders, volunteers and mentors to other students over the years.

The UniSkills team will be off to Canberra to receive the award (and $25,000) at Parliament House on 25 November.
