McCusker Insitute Launch Event
Join us as we celebrate the future of education and community impact
How can education ignite positive change in our communities? The Australian National University proudly invites you to the official launch of the ANU McCusker Institute—a bold new chapter in transdisciplinary education that centres collaboration between students and multi-sector partners to address real-world challenges.
The McCusker Institute represents a commitment to nurturing the next generation of changemakers and leaders. Our celebration will provide an opportunity to connect with our vibrant community of learners, academics, partners, friends and supporters; engage in an exploration of the education we need in times of change; and to be inspired by our speakers on the opportunities we have to create hopeful futures.
Join us to discover the impact of collaborative action, adaptive and experiential learning that extends beyond the classroom, as well as the role you can have in turning today’s headwinds into tomorrow’s opportunities through life-long learning.
