The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success (ACSES) is excited to celebrate two significant staff milestones:

  • A new citizen – ACSES Executive Director Professor Shamit Saggar, along with his family, officially became Australian citizens on 26 February 2025. This marks an important milestone for the family, and we are delighted to celebrate this with them.
    The family of four hold up citizen certificates, standing in front of a three-pronged flagpole with the Aboriginal, Australian and Torres Strait Islander flags.
