When it came to the decision of where to study, there were a couple of reasons why UniSQ was the right choice for Harrison.
"I wanted to be able to challenge myself in being able to excel in university studies and UniSQ offered the opportunity for me to achieve this goal. I was also drawn to the support that is available to First Nations students and the opportunities to connect with others that share the same cultural values.
"I knew I would be well-supported to achieve my goals and be who I am at UniSQ."
Harrison credits the supportive environment and the people he has met as being the best part of his experience.
"UniSQ is a university that places the students needs first…and the support I have received from the College for First Nations has been great. No matter the time of the request; even just having a yarn made me feel supported. They did a great job ensuring I was looked after and any questions I had were answered. With the level of attention, it made studying much easier with less to worry about."
Having just completed his Bachelor of Design and Interactive Technologies (Digital Media) degree, Harrison has big plans for his future. During his studies, he developed an interest in radio production; and this hobby turned passion has now set a new course for his future.
"Radio turned into an outlet I loved participating in at the university. Now I am planning on coming back to UniSQ to do a second bachelor`s degree in radio production and am working towards getting working or volunteering opportunities to build up my experience in the industry.
"You will feel very supported at a university like UniSQ. Additionally, if you identify as First Nations, then the people at the College for First Nations will be there to help you feel part of the UniSQ community."
