SAR Chapter Launch: University of the Sunshine Coast

On the 19^th of August 2019 the Australian University USC will officially launch its USC Scholars at Risk Chapter. The launch is the culmination of two years of work establishing and developing a chapter model that will not only work to advocate for the collective good of the Scholars at Risk network, but will have a positive impact on the extracurricular experiences of its student body. A key value of USC is Social Justice with the commitment to advancing human rights within a free, tolerant and inclusive society recognised in USC’s strategic plan. The Chapter’s development, its launch, and the subsequent events, seminars and volunteering/internship opportunities are a reflection of that commitment to the values and goals of Scholars at Risk and USC as a higher education institution.
