Opening event | T&L Week 2023

Opening address

We are proud to announce that Adjunct Associate Professor Mary Graham will deliver an opening address for Teaching and Learning (T&L) Week. Dr Graham is a renowned Indigenous community leader and philosopher, known for her advocacy of Australia's Indigenous peoples. 

Dr Graham will speak to the 2023 theme Synergy and our 6 sub-themes that directly align with UQ’s revised Graduate Attributes: accomplished scholars, courageous thinkers, connected citizens, culturally capable, influential communicators and respectful leaders. 

T&L Award winners teach the Graduate Attributes

Experience how outstanding teachers from The University of Queensland (UQ) engage students with UQ's revised Graduate Attributes. Our academics will lead in-class activities that assist students to attain the attributes, skills and values of a UQ graduate. 

A graduate of UQ is knowledgeable, curious and connected with the world. They value the perspectives and cultures of all peoples, acting with integrity, empathy, creativity and courage. They understand complexity and challenge expectations to make positive change. 

A light lunch will be served from 12-12:30pm.

Session participants will:

• experience world class teaching
• explore options for teaching our revised graduate attributes
• connect with colleagues.
