Education

Monash University is advancing Indigenous inclusion and empowerment through curriculum integration, innovative STEM opportunities, and creative exploration for students:

• Professor Chris Lawrence, Associate Dean Indigenous, leads initiatives to launch Indigenous engineering careers, including the National Indigenous Space Academy (NISA) for internships at NASA.
• NISA, supported by the Australian Government, enhances opportunities for Indigenous STEM students through internships at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab.
• The Koorie Experience Day at Monash Art, Design and Architecture provided Indigenous students with creative practice exploration and university pathways.
