Supporting you“The very character of Tasmania invites us
as a university to have a sense of self anddirection, ever responding to the uniquequalities of the island. Integral to what
constitutes Tasmania is that it is made up
of distinctively different places, each with
its own unique set of attributes and qualities:
whether it is facing the great Southern Ocean,being inland at the confluence of great rivers,
living on a beautiful fertile ribbon between
wilderness and wild strait, or on the West Coast
with winds that blow around the world, waves
that move the needles of seismographs andancient forests watered by moisture drawn
from the unbroken ocean. Each has its own
remarkable human story interwoven with its
own economic and social history”.
