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