SUPRA equity officer elections
SUPRA coordinates 6 equity networks for postgraduate students at the University of Sydney, to support their specific equity needs within the University. Each equity network is coordinated by the equity officer elected by the network.
Equity officer elections are run autonomously by each network and are not part of the SUPRA General Election. Find out more about our student equity networks.
We will update this section as the equity officer elections are scheduled. Please check back for updates.
