School of Humanities and Communication Arts Events

Most of our events are for enrolled students. From time to time we have events that connect the public to our School and we will update this page to announce those when appropriate. If you represent an organisation that's interested in collaborating with the School for an event, please contact the engagement officer via enquiriesHCA@westernsydney.edu.au.
