Southern Cross University

As a founding partner, Southern Cross University’s relationship with Byron Writers Festival has grown from a shared commitment to storytelling, ideas and community into a lasting collaboration grounded in creativity and place. Together, we have helped foster conversations that challenge, inspire and connect, amplifying voices from our region and beyond, and celebrating the people and stories that shape our community.

‍

Across three decades, this partnership has been as much about people as it has been about ideas, bringing together writers, students, alumni, partners and audiences, and contributing to the vibrant cultural life we are proud to be part of.

‍

As Byron Writers Festival marks its 30th anniversary, Southern Cross University is honoured to celebrate this milestone, recognising the stories, thinkers and community that continue to shape who we are, now and into the future.
