How will you engage the SCON in 2024?

The Student as Partners Consultative Group provides student input and feedback on projects across UNSW. 

The Student as Partners Consultative Group (SCON) is a consultative group of current students, representative of UNSW’s diverse student body. It consults on University projects and initiatives, drawing on the students’ individual lived experiences. 

The group includes students from culturally diverse and migrant backgrounds, students with disability, parents, carers and students from LGBTQIA+ communities. They have previously provided consultation on a range of projects, including the Student Lived Experience Project, UNSW PASS and the UNSW Code of Conduct. 

How SCON works 

1. Reach out to SCON (scon@unsw.edu.au) with an outline of your project. Staff will work with you to communicate your project with SCON. 
2. Attend the SCON meeting where you’ll have the opportunity to hear students’ thoughts and ideas on your key questions and focus areas. Meetings can be in-person or online. 
3. Receive minutes and additional responses on your project in the week after the meeting.
