| 總結: | This seed project aimed to enhance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander university student engagement and retention. Specifically, this project attended to the notion of the 'university place' and provides information and two tools that universities can use to help optimise the persistence and educational outcomes of Indigenous Australians. This project has produced meaningful, useful and novel contributions that are relevant to the sector. For this project, a case study approach comprised of two case universities and employed mixed methods that were organised into three stages. Stage 1 included the collation of relevant baseline data from the participating universities (e.g. Indigenous student enrolment numbers), and beginning-project presentations. Stage 2 comprised interviews and focus groups from which qualitative data was collected from: a) undergraduate and postgraduate Indigenous university students; b) academic staff; and c) relevant administrative, professional and technical (APT) staff at the participating universities. From this qualitative data, a framework was developed and was discussed at mid-project presentations and disseminated in the mid-project report. Finally, in Stage 3 quantitative data was collected via surveys of: a) undergraduate and postgraduate Indigenous students; and b) academic teaching staff at the participating universities. Stage 3 served to evolve the framework and develop the two project tools. End-project presentations, workshops, publications and this e-booklet served to widely disseminate the findings.
