Inclusive UC is an in-person Challenge for UC students, working together in teams, to create a student-focused event to foster and facilitate meaningful social connections between international and domestic students on campus.
The Challenge runs for 48 hours (Friday 24th & Saturday 25th July) with flexible timing to suit your schedule. You will get coaching from UCE staff and mentoring from experts. It is a perfect opportunity to meet some new people, hone your skills, build your CV, experience some new ways of working and have an impact on your University!
On the final day of Inclusive UC, your team will pitch your event plan to a panel of judges. The best ideas will get a share of the $2,000 cash prize pool as well as support from UC Business School to turn your ideas into reality and a budget to deliver the event in the second semester of this year!
