Australia is facing a future defined by complexity, uncertainty and rapid transformation — and now more than ever, we need graduates equipped to lead with purpose, creativity and integrity. A pioneering research collaboration between the UTS Transdisciplinary School and NEXT25 is helping shape exactly that future.

This project explores how future‑focused capabilities empower graduates to create meaningful social, environmental and organisational impact. By uncovering the enablers, barriers and real-world applications of these capabilities, the research offers new insights for educators, industry and policymakers seeking to develop leaders who can drive long-term change.

Among the research team is Monique Potts, a proud , whose expertise strengthens this important work. Together with colleagues across disciplines, she is helping build an evidence base that redefines how we understand graduate impact — moving beyond traditional measures of employability toward capabilities that shape a more just, sustainable and resilient world.

Through this transdisciplinary collaboration, UTS continues to champion the future Australia wants-one led by graduates ready to imagine boldly, act responsibly and create lasting impact across every sector.

Two proud UTS alumni, Sophie Greiner and Bella Filacuridi - both graduates of the UTS Faculty of Design and Society in Communication - met completely by chance at an International Women’s Day pitch night.'

In that first conversation, they realised they listened to the same podcast. That tiny moment of recognition sparked a big insight: podcast listeners often share values, interests, and a natural sense of alignment - and that connection is powerful.

That alumni‑to‑alumni meeting became the seed for what is now Australia’s first major podcast festival, DomeFest, built to bring like‑minded listeners together in real life.

🎧 UTS students receive discounted tickets with code 'DFStudent'
Group Chat Bundle: bring three mates and get 4 tickets for the price of 3

UTS alumni hiring UTS students? We love seeing our graduates give back and lift others as they rise💙

You may remember Cassandra, our UTS Business graduate, who took us behind the scenes of her day in the life as a business owner of Dream Big Marketing earlier this year. Since then, her story has come full circle. Today, she’s back to answer questions alongside a fellow UTS graduate who originally joined her team as a student intern and has since grown into a valued part of the business.

This is the power of UTS community in action: alumni creating opportunities, students stepping into real‑world roles, and careers being shaped through genuine connection and mentorship.

Cassandra continues to welcome UTS students who are eager to learn, intern, and grow with her team. Her commitment to giving back reflects the strength of our alumni network - supportive, collaborative, and always lifting each other up. 🚀
