Do degrees cause financial distress?
Did you know in 2017 the median annual income for full-time university students was approximately $4,000 below the identified ‘poverty line’ for single Australian adults?
As part of Anti-Poverty Week 2018, Swinburne Student Union is hosting a public facing forum to address topical and often-times critical issues impacting the social and economic experience of tertiary students, such as the growing occurrence of tertiary student homelessness.
The aim of the forum seeks to both shine some much needed light upon issues that may not otherwise get the public airing and recognition they deserve, while also providing some tangible tips, tricks and advice to those attending the forum; life-hacks and insights from service area specialists and experts.
While this forum aims to engage current students of Swinburne, it’s also an opportunity for Swinburne staff, stakeholders and anyone interested to engage with the assembled expert presenters and panellists.
