LACE | Language & Cultural Exchange

Language and Cultural Exchange (LACE) is an intercultural friendship program open to all postgraduates and staff at UWA. Coordinated by Cheryl Lange, Lucy Reilly and Siri Barrett-Lennard from Student Services, LACE is a great way to get to know others on campus, and to learn more about the university environment.

All Postgraduate students and staff welcome

See message from the Vice-Chancellor about social and cultural diversity.
