This year’s Educators and Influencers Day showcased the very best of our ECU community.
On 31 March, the Future Students Engagement team held the Educators and Influencers Day.
The annual event held at the Joondalup Campus was a great opportunity for career counsellors and educators to hear about the latest developments at ECU, network, take part in workshops, talk to our Future Student Engagements team and academics, and more.
This year’s Educators and Influencers Day showcased the very best of our ECU community.
