TASMANIA STATE VISION

  • Support and develop student leaders wellbeing

    Student leadership involves balancing many sides, and when living full time at a college this balance is crucial in ensuring leadership roles can be fully fulfilled. In managing these expectations it is important to be aware of how much of our space and time can be given away and what needs to be maintained to ensure long term success.

    NAAUC advocates for leaders as representatives of their communities, but in order to serve our communities we must first look after ourselves as leaders. By providing support to student leaders at a local level and opportunities for education, NAAUC can support student leaders in finding a balance and saving enough space for individuals to look after themselves and their communities.

  • Intercollegiate Growth

    Empowering bonds between colleges to create a healthy and positive inter-college space where friendships are formed.

    Ensuring sporting, cultural and social events are prioritising respect and community, where every resident is proud of their college backgrounds and feel comfortable that they belong in the college community.

  • Creating access to leadership training and opportunities.

    NAAUC seeks to provide residents and student leaders of residential communities with leadership training to support the growth of individuals and their communities. Though this training is targeted towards leading residential communities the skills learned are transferable to the individuals personal and professional spheres. Supporting students in becoming progressive professionals with a broad toolkit of skills to draw on throughout careers.

Tasmania NAAUC History

Although it is a small state, Tasmania has always been clearly represented in the National Association of Colleges. 

The three traditional colleges at the University of Tasmania, John Fisher College, Christ College, and Jane Franklin Hall, have all been involved with NAAUC since its inception more than fifty years ago. Each of the Colleges have sent representatives to the National Conference, and even had students join the team, all within the past five years! NAAUC has continued to expand its roots in Tasmania over the past few years, connecting and working with Hobart's Hytten Hall and Launceston's Investigator Hall.

Currently, Tasmanian Colleges have one of their current residents on the NAAUC Team, Tasmanian College NAAUC Alumni also play an outsized role in supporting the team.

NAAUC is extremely proud of its connection to Tasmania. In 2022 NAAUC held a state summit which was a large success. Being a small state, it's been some time since NAAUC has held a National conference in Tasmania, the last one being in 1995 at Christ College, shortly preceded by Jane Franklin Hall in 1990. 

NAAUC is excited to continue working in Tasmania, and is excited to continue its strong relationship with Tasmanian Colleges in 2024.
