UOW Pulse - Your UniLife

25/08/2026

Our Volunteer Program is such an important part of what we do and it's great to see the launch of our new Reward & Recognition Program. The program was created to celebrate and thank our incredible UOW Pulse Volunteers for the time, energy and commitment they bring to our community.

As our volunteers reach key milestones, they will unlock formal recognition including LinkedIn badges, certificates, volunteer shoutouts, UniShop lolly vouchers, Duck Bucks and more.

It's our way of acknowledging the impact our volunteers make and the difference they create across campus. To find out more about the program head to https://pulse.uow.edu.au/volunteering/

Pulse is proud to have successfully launched Pulse Pantry Pop-Ups across regional and metropolitan campuses, expanding access to one of our most valued student support services.

Pulse Pantry is a free grocery service for UOW students that has become a highly regarded offering at the Wollongong campus. In line with Pulse's recently launched Strategic Plan, the Student Engagement team—supported by funding from the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF)—developed a mobile pop-up model to bring this essential service to students across UOW's onshore campus network. Following a successful pilot, the service will now continue on a monthly basis.

Since launching in May, the initiative has delivered:
🥫20 pop-up activations
🥫7 campus locations
🥫500+ student engagements

Pulse Pantry Pop-Ups have been activated at campuses in Bega, Eurobodalla (Batemans Bay), Liverpool, Shoalhaven, Southern Highlands, Sutherland, and Sydney CBD, ensuring more students can access practical support closer to where they study.

This initiative is a strong example of Pulse's commitment to its vision: to create vibrant, connected and inclusive campuses that enrich student life and strengthen UOW's role as a hub for student and community engagement.
