What's on
In 2025 we will share events and activities that honour the University's legacy, connect with our communities and ignite excitement about our future.
50 Voices
From labs to libraries, lawns to lecture theatres, 50 Voices is a year-long content series that celebrates the people who have made UOW what it is today. Hear unique stories from students, staff, alumni, donors, and community members who have had a lasting impact.
