Planet Positive Program

The greatest challenge of human existence is upon us: the planet is suffering and the consequences for present and future generations are profound.

Tackling climate change, waste generation and the loss of biodiversity is the responsibility of every person. It’s a responsibility to be “Planet Positive.” Being Planet Positive means more than achieving net zero emissions. It’s also about making sure that human activity is restorative of ecosystems.

Curtin students feel this responsibility keenly. They also know that a mastery of complex skills is required to solve challenging environmental issues. Students want these skills and the opportunity to positively effect change in their future careers.

This #WorldGratitudeDay, we are thankful for those in our community empowering others to become confident members of society. 💛 Thanks to a generous donor who struggled with a stutter throughout her life, Curtin PhD Speech Pathology student Rachel Michael was gifted a scholarship to explore the lack of support for school-aged children who stutter. Rachel was motivated to pursue Speech Pathology after watching a loved one get bullied at school and seeing the frustration this can bring to a child and their family. “I’m so grateful to have met my donor and thanked her personally. Hearing how stuttering had impacted her life, has made my work in this area so much more real and purposeful,” she said.
