Professor Cindy Shannon AM,
Deputy Vice Chancellor (Indigenous, Diversity and Inclusion)
This week we celebrate National Reconciliation Week, with the theme for this year, Now More Than Ever, reminding us that the reconciliation journey will and must continue in this country. 
Following the Referendum, the reinforcing message we received from our community is that Griffith University remains committed to reconciliation and has an important role in facilitating reconciliation through truth-telling and healing. 
Truth-telling is intended to create new relationships between First Peoples and non-Indigenous communities based on greater understanding. We hope that you, our alumni, will continue to support reconciliation in action.
