In addition to the online orientation program, students studying in the Tamworth region are able to attend some in-person events to assist you in getting to know everything you need to know before commencing your studies, and to put some faces to the names that you’ll come across whilst studying with us. Getting Started Session Date & Time: Tuesday 27th February, 5pm – 7pm Location: Peel House, 24 Fitzroy Street, Tamworth Come along to our Getting Started Session, during this session the team will go through: If you can't make it on to the group session you can book individual Getting Started Sessions with the UNE Tamworth Team. We encourage all new students to come to the group session or book an individual session as there can be very valuable information to be gained to get started at UNE. Getting Started – Individual Session If you can’t make the group session, start your studies with success and book an in-person, one-on-one session where you’ll learn about your study, how to log in to and navigate myLearn, access library resources, as well as any other questions you might have from our friendly UNE Tamworth Support Staff. To book, click on the 'Tamworth Getting Started Sessions' on our Bookings Page. For more information visit our Orientation page. Bridging the gap between UNE and our community University of Newcastle Department of Rural Health supports all students from all universities with placements and learning in medicine, nursing, nutrition and dietetics, physiotherapy, medical radiation science, occupational therapy, pharmacy, speech pathology and social work. In this TamTalk, we will hear from Jessica Billett a nursing academic from UONDRH. Jess is passionate about rural nursing and supporting students and placement supervisors to ensure quality placement experiences in rural areas. This talk will cover what support is available whilst on placement within the UONDRH footprint and how to access this support. It will also briefly cover how best to prepare for a rural nursing placement. Are you a nursing student eager to embark on your career journey? Join us for an empowering presentation tailored to equip you with the essential tools and insights to secure your dream graduate nursing position. Delve into the intricacies of crafting a standout resume and cover letter that highlight your unique skills and passion for nursing. Learn invaluable interview techniques to confidently showcase your expertise and professionalism. Gain knowledge to position yourself as a top candidate in the competitive field of nursing and let us empower you to step confidently into your future as a graduate nurse. In this talk, we will hear from Dr Gal Winter and embark on a journey into the intricate world of the gut microbiome and its profound impact on our overall well-being. Discover how dietary choices can shape the diversity and composition of our microbiota, influencing not only physical health but also mental and emotional states. Join us as we uncover practical strategies for fostering a flourishing microbiome, enhancing both our health and happiness from within. A uniquely powerful marker of ethnic, gender, and class identities, scent can also overwhelm previously constructed boundaries and transform social-sensory realities within contexts of environmental degradation, pathogen outbreaks, and racial politics. In this TamTalk, we will hear from Dr Gwyn McClelland, a Senior Lecturer in Japanese Studies who will discuss his recent (2023) co-edited book with Penn State University Press that critically examines olfaction in Asian societies with the goal of unlocking its full potential as an analytical frame and lived phenomenon. He will talk about durians and kopi, a Hong Kong movie, origins of discourse about smell in poetry and manuscripts, and contemporary discussions of aroma and odour out of Asia. Thomas Fudge’s recently published book Darkness: The Conversion of Anglican Armidale, 1960-2019 is an example of a destabilising history inviting new approaches to understanding the past. This presentation explores how a dominant discourse might be reimagined. The fundamental question remains: Whose history is being told? New evidence, new methods and new understanding emerge as time passes and this is conducive for examining old evidence, old ideas, old truths. Stanford University Emeritus Professor of Law, Robert W. Gordon noted: ‘Lawyers have persistently been accused of abusing history, distorting the past, and making demands upon it to carry burdens of current relevance that it cannot possibly sustain.’ The observation can be applied across society and culture. The story of the conversion of Anglican Armidale has broad relevance and Darkness aims to slaughter sacred cows congregated in the church.

UNE in our Community
Here at UNE Tamworth we love to get out and about in our local community. Going to local events, fairs and activities gives us a great opportunity to hang out and have a chat with other Tamworth locals, and get a bit of sunshine while we're at it.
If you're running a local event or fair, and think that UNE Tamworth might like to join, drop us a line and let us know. We'd love to hear from you.
