The Fellowship Research by NCSEHE Equity Fellow Dr Janine Delahunty explored the challenges faced by university students from regional, rural and remote (RRR) areas.

The Fellowship Research by NCSEHE Equity Fellow Dr Janine Delahunty explored the challenges faced by university students from regional, rural and remote (RRR) areas to inform equitable course delivery and support measures.

The Final Report recommends engaging and supporting students from RRR areas to identify their strengths and hopes for the future and communicate their challenges to improve educational outcomes.

The main project output is the Regional2 Student Futures website www.regionalstudentfutures.org.au, developed from the participant data. The site houses a range of open source resources including an advice tool Within a Cooee! which is comprised entirely of advice from student and staff participants to other people from RRR communities. Other additions to the resources include an interactive self-reflective tool to explore aspects of future-focused thinking and goal-setting, and non-prescriptive guide(s) for support staff.
