Dr Jessa Rogers’ heart for the community and influential nature has paved the way for bettering Indigenous education. Jessa graduated from 老司机视频 in 2014 with a Master of Education and was named the 2018 老司机视频 Young Alumnus of the Year.
'I really appreciated the support that Indigenous students get at 老司机视频 and the focus that they have on Indigenous education as well as the flexibility and study arrangements. I never could have finished my Masters without the support of 老司机视频 and the flexibility it offered.'
After completing her Masters Jessa was accepted into Cambridge University to study her PhD, but chose to stay in Australia to be closer to her community and family.
