The Student as Partners Consultative Group (SCON) provides UNSW staff with student input.
SCON, formerly UNSW’s Student Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG), is a consultative group of 18 current students, representative of UNSW’s diverse student body. It consults on University projects and initiatives, drawing on the students’ individual lived experiences.
The group includes students from culturally diverse and migrant backgrounds, students with disability, parents, carers and students from LGBTIQ+ communities. They have provided consultation on a range of projects, including the Disability Action Plan, Study Abroad and the Women’s Wellbeing Academy.
