University is about more than the degree you leave with.
It’s about the conversations that challenge you.
The people who broaden your perspective.
And the courage to sit in uncomfortable truths, keep learning and keep showing up.
For Victoria and Ma’Ayan, reconciliation in action looks like learning together, listening deeply and creating change through connection.
Because when you choose a university, you’re choosing the kind of community you want to be part of.
This is what reconciliation looks like in action. 💜
#NationalReconciliationWeek #NRW2026 #UQ #AboriginalAndTorresStraitIslander #createchange

This National Reconciliation Week, Ma’Ayan and Taha unpack what reconciliation really means from acknowledging Australia’s shared history to recognising the power of listening, learning and showing up together. Because reconciliation belongs to all of us. This year’s theme reminds us we’re all in for reconciliation and that meaningful change happens when we move forward together. We’re all in. Are you? #NationalReconciliationWeek #NRW2026 #UQ #Reconciliation #AboriginalAndTorresStraitIslander #createchange

And the fact that it's got a golden crack through it draws attention to the fact that it was broken but healed, and now it's a thing of beauty."Read more: quicklink.anu.edu.au/orcg
