Episode 9: The University Experience with Aurora Howland

Aurora Howland is the Schools Liaison Officer for the University of New England. She works with local schools and communities to introduce high school students to university life. This can include introducing them to the courses and career pathways available, but also looks at what kind of lifestyle awaits students on a university campus. In this interview we talk about how students choose the best degree pathway for them, the many ways in which people can navigate career decisions, and whether it matters whether or not you make the right decision early on. As a university focused on online education, we also chat about the alternative study and career path options available to people at UNE. As with all aspects of our lives, study has been affected by COVID-19 and we explore what this has looked like for on-campus and online university students.
