Congratulations to Jaimey Facchin

This national competitive grant is designed to develop the capacity of the next generation of researchers in Australian Higher Education Equity and Jaimey will use the funds to produce a systematic review of literature related to her PhD topic: the influence of parents / carers on educational choices for students who are the first in their family to consider university. Jaimey is currently mid-way through her PhD and is being supervised by Professor Sarah O’ Shea (CSU) and Dr Nicole Crawford (Deakin).
