VU in the Community (VUiC) creates opportunities for Victoria University (VU) and its surrounding communities through strong partnerships with local government and community organisations in Melbourne's west.
VUiC builds VU’s presence and reputation through programs and place-based initiatives that:
- respond to local needs
- provide avenues for residents and VU students to learn and work locally
- build connections with local organisations, leading to opportunities for collaboration.
By contributing to regional development, knowledge sharing, projects and events, VUiC strives to enhance both the University and the broader community in each of our campus precincts.
Our involvement includes partnerships with councils in the west and northwest of Melbourne.
