We believe anyone can make a unique contribution to creating a better
world, transforming lives, and inspiring change. UON creates a positive social impact in society through the Changemaker Commitments. CHANGE THE FUTURE
Being a Changemaker means ‘taking action to solve a social problem’, and our students and staff are:
- Driven by a passion and a genuine goal of making the world a better place.
- People who act and won’t take ‘No’ for an answer, resilient, and persistent in the face of challenges
- Innovative, resourceful, and open to new ideas, they have the courage to see things differently and be a positive disruptor. CHANGEMAKER CERTIFICATE AND EMPLOYABILITY PLUS AWARD
