At TUSA, we recognize that academic achievements are not the sole determinants of a successful life and career. We believe in supporting your university education by providing practical skills-based training and workshops that are relevant to your overall personal and professional development.
The 2026 TUSA Student Leaders Conference will be held on the 29th October 2026 focused on skills development for our current and future student leaders within both TUSA and the University. All skills training sessions will be delivered by staff and students currently engaged in the student leadership space in their Clubs and/or Societies, elected and/or recruited roles.
Running for one day only, the conference will be hosted primarily at the Studio Theatre, Sandy Bay Campus, along with some breakout sessions at the Sir Stanley Burbury Theatre and the TUSA Boardroom at the Social Sciences Building, Sandy Bay Campus, & will offer a variety of skills-focused workshops, TUSA Programs and Initiatives. In addition, we will also be livestreaming this online via in-person meeting rooms at Launceston (Room 308 & 309 at Rivers Edge, Inveresk Campus) and Cradle Coast (Room 165, Field Building, West Park Campus) campuses for you to get together and participate as a group.
This mandatory training will focus on all the aspects of your roles within C+S as well as training you in governance, marketing and management so you’ll be ready for your roles!
There are Core and Elective options we recommend attending everything (naturally) – ideally, we would like every incoming executives at the core and elective sessions. This is also open to C+S members who are interested in learning / might be considering future exec roles in your Club/Society (consider this as part of your succession planning)!
