Co-create your experience at Griffith
The Student Partnerships Program provides you with an opportunity to co-create your experience at Griffith.
We value your perspectives and want to partner with you to build a purposeful and inclusive Griffith experience. Through our program you can help us create spaces that enable excellence and innovation, that provide world class facilities for learning, teaching and research, and create a lively and vibrant ecosystem that embodies Griffith’s core principles and values.
What is the Student Partnerships Program?
The Student Partnerships Program provides platforms for students, staff and industry to come together as a community to voice their opinions, share their ideas and work together on the things that matter.
Whether you want to provide feedback on a service or partner with us on a project, the program ensures that you can play a central role in co-creating your experiences at Griffith, and can do so in a way that fits in with your studies and other commitments.

Student representatives sit on a number of university committees and advisory groups, and also hold various positions within our student-led associations.
