Working Party Team Member
Kiera Walpole
Kiera is a second year resident of Janet Clarke Hall at the university of Melbourne, and member of the NAAUC Working Party team for 2026. As the 2025-2026 Honorary Secretary, Kiera has developed a passion for event-planning and is eager to apply these skills within the NAAUC committee space. Kiera hopes to help shape the 2026 NAAUC conference as not only an informative forum, but also a unique opportunity to form meaningful, long-lasting friendships with peers from across the country. Originally from a small town in rural Victoria, Kiera has been welcomed by her peers and gained invaluable insight through her connections with others. Through NAAUC, Kiera hopes to share this experience, helping inspire colleges to be more accessible and approachable for rural students and students of all backgrounds.
