Who Was EdITh coWaN?<br />
coNTENTs<br />
Born in 1861 in Glengarry, near Geraldton,<br />
<strong>Edith</strong> Dircksey <strong>Cowan</strong> believed education was<br />
the key to growth, change and improvement.<br />
<strong>Edith</strong>’s contribution to the development of<br />
Western Australian education was significant.<br />
She strove to achieve social justice and<br />
campaigned for the rights of women, children<br />
and families, for the poor, the poorly educated<br />
and the elderly. So it is fitting that the oldest<br />
education institution and newest State university,<br />
<strong>Edith</strong> <strong>Cowan</strong> <strong>University</strong>, bears her name.<br />
Life is full of journeys: From childhood to adulthood. School<br />
to uni. Starting your first job to advancing your career. All of<br />
these journeys require a clear path to help ensure they go in<br />
the direction you want them to go.<br />
So, when we say the road is open at <strong>ECU</strong>, we are reflecting<br />
our commitment to ensuring that the obstacles and barriers<br />
that sometimes get in the way, can be effectively managed<br />
and overcome.<br />
Your journey is unique. It reflects your personal hopes and<br />
aspirations. Because the road is open at <strong>ECU</strong>, we can help you<br />
realise your ambitions and reach your destination, wherever<br />
that may be.<br />
