UOW Pulse is all about making the student experience at UOW, outside the classroom, an awesome one! They support Clubs & Societies, put on heaps of cool events, throw rad parties and run a bunch of volunteering and skills development programs. In 2022 and 2023,UOW, UOW Pulse, and Green Connect held an Op Shop Ball to celebrate Global Climate Change Week - an evening of sustainably sourced food, a fashion show, and an opportunity to mingle with colleagues and friends while making a positive impact on the environment. The funds for this scholarship were raised at this Ball.
