Follow your path

Macquarie University is committed to creating our future Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders.

Walanga Muru is a Darug language name meaning 'follow your path'.

At Walanga Muru, we seek to support and assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to choose the right path, navigate the obstacles of life, and to emerge as strong, resilient leaders.

The aim of Walanga Muru is to:
