EDUCATION
Education Portfolio
The Education Portfolio supports and enriches the academic lives of students beyond the classroom, while also representing student concerns. This involves representing students on every level through a range of Committees and the Australian Law Students’ Association (ALSA).
Some of the programs in the Education Portfolio include First Year Mentoring, Wellbeing events, the production of this Guide, the Women in Law Luncheon, and the Inspire Evening.
UOW LSS is always in discussion with the Faculty, University and ALSA on a number of issues. If you have any questions relating to your degree, please contact VP Education, Jacob May at education@uowlss.net.
Diversity & Inclusion
This year, the UOW LSS is renewing its commitment to supporting students of diverse backgrounds and experiences. This includes, but is not limited to, diversity as to race, heritage, belief, ideology, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
The UOW LSS is now a member of the Welcome Here Project, an initiative designed for the celebration of LGBTQIA+ diversity.
Team Members
Jacob May
I am currently completing my fourth year of a Law/Arts double degree, majoring in Japanese. My interests include linguistics and the way language shapes the law. I am also currently studying Norwegian, and wish to go on exchange in order to improve my proficiency.
Recently, I have been involved in administrative operations at Port Kembla Hospital, tutored Japanese, attended leadership bootcamps, and conducted research and related tasks within the Law Faculty.
As your VP (Education) for 2021, and in celebration of the LSS’ 30th anniversary, I wish to bring you all a variety of new skill-building opportunities to complement the knowledge gained in class. We have some crash-courses in the works, as well as some collaborations with the Competitions Portfolio.
As the leader of the LSS’ Wellbeing and Equity initiatives, I also hope to open up the many avenues of support available at UOW, through First Year Mentoring, the First Year Guide, Wellbeing Wednesday and Wellbeing Brunches. As a society, we have also renewed our commitment to diversity and inclusion, through modifying our procedures, and becoming listed under ACON’s Welcome Here Project.
If anyone has any questions about the Education portfolio or just want to chat, please do not hesitate to reach out. I wish everyone a year full of productivity and success!
