Student Promises
Your TUSA exists to be the independent voice of students at UTAS, effecting change through leadership and community building.
We are working for a future where the united voice of the student community enhances your university experience and the world around you.
In striving to achieve those goals, we promise that:

- We promise to foster diversity and inclusion in everything we do.
2. We’ll help you get what you need from your university experience
- We promise to empower you, so you can navigate university life and get the most out of it.
- We know how important it is to feel like you belong, and we promise to help you build communities and networks with likeminded people who you can connect with personally or professionally.

5. We’ll create a vibrant and contemporary student representative association
