| Özet: | In 2015, I was frustrated with a growing rhetoric about university students. Students are passive customers consumers self-interested and the like. Creating a customer relationship sells students short and undermines the value of higher education as a place of learning, growth, and dare I say, transformation. The relationship between students and teachers is crucial for learning and teaching, yet this growing discourse about students as customers in higher education works against meaningful learning relationships to my mind. I was searching for another conversation about students in learning and teaching in higher education. Through this fellowship I found a counter-narrative, a new language students as partners to talk about students in teaching and learning, and a growing community of students and staff re-imagining what learning and teaching in higher education should and could be. This conversation was coming to Australia when I applied for the fellowship. I had no real concept at the time of the impending groundswell of interest my fellowship would attract. Five years later, my university, The University of Queensland (UQ), has enshrined student partnership in policy backed with over a million dollars, there is an international journal on students as partners, an international institute on students as partners, and an Australian network with 700+ members running annual roundtables started in 2015 with scheduled events until 2022.
