Country University Centre’s Focus Group
I attended the CUC’s focus discussion group yesterday which aimed to better understand Griffith’s unique community needs and tertiary aspirations. Ideas around promotion of the CUC to school students, including excursions, and change in values towards tertiary education, the suitability of courses for rural industries, were some of the issues discussed. Watch this space for future outcomes.
