50 Voices
This year, as part of our 50th Anniversary celebrations, we have launched 50 Voices - a content series that celebrates the people who have made UOW what it is today. From labs to libraries, lawns to lecture theatres, hear unique stories from students, staff, alumni, donors, and community members who have had a lasting impact.
