Congratulations! A global community awaits you

ConGRADulations! A global community awaits you

Congratulations on your amazing achievement and welcome to UWA’s global community.

Worldwide, UWA has over 130,000 graduates. That’s a powerful network. No matter where you go, you’ll find yourself in the company of extraordinary people who will be your mentors, collaborators and friends.

Here are a few steps you can take to get the most out of your UWA community after graduation.

Look, we know it's not the same as being there and hearing it first hand. That said, we thought you may like to receive the wisdom shared by your fellow grads during our last "in person" ceremonies in December 2019. The addresses are filled with well wishes, encouragement and inspiration, along with a decent helping of good advice. We hope they tide you over until you get the real thing.
