Â鶹ֱ²¥ has launched the Curtin Cares<\/em> campaign to help support students, nurses and teachers during the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.<\/p>\n

The fundraising initiative will provide much-needed assistance to core sections of our community who are experiencing hardship or require much-needed resources during these challenging times.<\/p>\n

Â鶹ֱ²¥ Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry said the campaign builds on Curtin\u2019s existing commitment to student support measures to help those in need through the crisis and assist them in preparing for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough Curtin Cares<\/em>, we are inviting donors, both large and small, to partner with us in delivering aid to three core groups \u2013 students, nurses and teachers,\u201d Professor Terry said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs bridges to the future we need to ensure our students continue learning without the spectre of financial stress and hardship; our nurses need specialised educational resources and training as they battle on the frontlines of this pandemic, particularly as 2020 is the Year of the Nurse and Midwife; and our teachers need support to help them quickly become experts in \u2018blended learning\u2019 techniques that bring online and face-to-face methods together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCurtin Cares <\/em>is a true reflection of our University\u2019s ethos, values and the legacy of its namesake. In 1932 Prime Minister John Curtin said that a university \u2018should find its heroes in the present; its hopes in the future\u2019. His words ring truer than ever in this time of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this campaign we hope to not only deliver support for those in need right now, but to empower, enable and inspire them for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurtin Chancellor, Dr Andy Crane, and I are very pleased to be making the first contributions to Curtin Cares. We understand that many people are dealing with changed financial circumstances right now, but we would be delighted if you would like to join us.\u201d<\/p>\n
