The Springboard to Higher Education Bursary Program has changed the lives of almost 900 Tasmanian secondary school students.

It has provided hope and helped them realise the dream of furthering their education.

The Alumni Office is very keen to offer opportunities for alumni to stay connected with the University and with each other. We have engaged Ipsos, an independent market research company, to conduct an online survey to gain a deeper understanding of how you connect with your University.

Your feedback will be reported in an aggregate and anonymous form.  It will help to ensure the opportunities we offer are of value to you. The survey will be sent directly to you via email in two weeks.

We encourage you to participate and thank you in advance for doing so.
