The Cohort Connections Fund aims to support staff and student clubs and societies to provide cohort-building activities that enhance HASS coursework students’ sense of belonging and employability capabilities.
The fund can assist with organising and conducting such activities in a safe environment that adheres to government and UQ health and safety policies.
What we offer
We want to encourage cohorts to come together, whether that be within a program, course or student club to connect and re-build the HASS sense of community on campus and online. We can offer support for extra-curricular social and employability for groups of up to 100 people (subject to social distancing and space requirements) and funding to subsidise activity costs up to $500.
We can provide support with:
- Events and Catering

- Prizes for Students
