The Stand exists to unlock the knowledge and expertise inside the Ƶapp of Ƶapp (UOW), telling stories about our people and their accomplishments that inform, educate and inspire. This magazine was born out of a renewed sense of place, purpose and values that will guide the Ƶapp in fulfilling its role in exploring how to resolve society’s large and complex social, environmental and economic challenges.
