Prized partnerships
UniSA Northern Adelaide Partnerships (UNAP) received three important awards in recent months for its work in improving the lives of people living in Adelaide’s northern suburbs.
In the prestigious national Business/Higher Education Round Table (B-HERT) Awards, UNAP was recognised for outstanding achievement in collaboration in research and development and education and training.
For exceptional commitment to improving lives of learners and making an outstanding contribution to the Salisbury community, UNAP was awarded a City of Salisbury - Salisbury Learning Champion Award. UNAP was identified as "successfully reflecting the University of South Australia’s mission to meet the needs and benefit communities, particularly those disadvantaged in education". And in the UniSA Awards for Equity, UNAP was recognised for its outstanding contribution to service initiative and excellent service to the University and its communities as a member of the Health and Wellbeing Clinics in Northern Adelaide team.
Pro Vice Chancellor and Vice President of Organisational Strategy and Change, Professor Hilary Winchester, is thrilled that UniSA’s work in northern Adelaide has been recognised in so many ways.
"The University has been working with the people and organisations in northern Adelaide for many years, but with the establishment of UNAP and the UNAP team at Mawson Lakes, we have a stronger profile there," she said. "As a result, together with the community, the University has been able to achieve more. The recognition is important. It contributes to the momentum, and from this foundation, the University is intent on developing our community engagement in northern Adelaide further, within the University as well as with the community."
