Fred spent 27 years in public service before pursuing studies as a mature age student. He aspires to become a writer of Indigenous historic and current events. Articles UC scholarship recipient sets sights on shared sovereignty, University of Canberra, August 2018 Time for a House of First Nations for Aboriginal Australians, Sydney Morning Herald, Fred Leftwich, August 2017 Family history research success for Fred, AIATSIS, August 2017 I just want to say to future potential students that it is possible and achievable. If you are committed and apply yourself totally you will come through the other side a winner. I think the secret is to adopt a 'project management' approach to the study. It is a full-time job but if you treat it like a full-time job you will learn and achieve. |
