Welcome to the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine. As you journey through your degree to working in health and health care, the Office of Student Affairs and Service Quality is here to support your learning journey.
I’m Jess – I’m the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Service Quality for the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine. SASQ will be an important conduit for you throughout your degree, as we are able to direct you to appropriate support services, assist you with pathway programs, and celebrate your exciting moments with you. Part of the SASQ portfolio is also to ensure that we produce values-driven Bondies – excellence, truth, respect, and accountability are at the core.
Bond University sets itself apart with the “wrap around” support and personalised approach to learning. This is certainly the case with our support services, too. As a practicing Registered Nurse, wife, and mother, I understand the challenges of transitioning to the workforce, juggling life’s curveballs, and building strong networks. We’re here to help you succeed.
