Mutually beneficial systems

This group's aim is to be mutually beneficial for all members. We will join together to produce outcomes that better our situations individually and collectively. The post grad group could increase relationships and senses of belonging. Through interaction, members would learn about new cultures, experiences and ways of thinking.

I believe that the group could also be mutually beneficial with the university system. We may decide to officially tie ourselves to the university at some point by becoming a UQU group. (There are some downsides to this- see my project plan for details.) Becoming an official UQU group, would allow us to gain visibility and connect to new members. It would also allow students to find us more easily. More connected students are happier and more well-rounded students. Happier, more fulfilled and connected students contribute to their university positively. We all win!

Here's yet another TED video. It inspired this post. It's demonstrates how crows and humans can be mutually beneficial. Highly Recommended!
