To be human is to have a story. As the national university, ANU is responsible for supporting our community of alumni, researchers and students in developing and constructing their own stories, which shape the nation's future.
Giving Day is about bringing people together to support individuals in achieving their potential, and exploring new ideas and new ways of thinking. This year we will be asking for support for two projects: an Indigenous volume of the Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) and refugee access and support programs.
You can support the Giving Day fund where all donations will go to both projects, or you can give specifically to a project of your choice.
With your support we can let every story be heard. Join us and be part of the narrative.
Stories waiting to be told
The Australian Dictionary of Biography is Australia's pre-eminent dictionary of national biography. It consists of over 13,500 concise, informative and fascinating descriptions of the lives of significant and representative people in Australian history. This supplementary volume will redress the under-representation of Indigenous Australians in the ADB. Working with Indigenous communities, an additional 190 entries on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will be produced, as well as research articles that reframe Indigenous biographical practice. The project is being led by the ADB's Indigenous Working Party composed entirely of Indigenous scholars from all Australian states.
Stories waiting to unfold
ANU is committed to providing support for all students in need. A Refugee Support Program will offer tailored assistance to individual refugee students, a Humanitarian Scholarship will provide financial support to refugee students on a temporary visa and the STOMP Program sees Griffin Hall students mentor and work with refugee students at Dickson College. These programs combined offer access and support to ensure a smooth transition and an improved experience for refugee students at ANU.
