Rhys Peden (He/Him)

What are you studying?

Bachelor of Laws (Honours), Bachelor of Psychology

What made you want to become a Student Representative?

I've always been in student leadership positions for as long as I can remember. I think the most impactful reason for becoming involved in student leadership is the ability to elevate and empower the voice of others to ensure that their voices are heard regarding current issues.

What do you aim to achieve for UniSA students in 2024?

I don't really have an aim for UniSA students for 2024. Ultimately, I would love to see more UniSA students getting involved in the services that USASA offers, particularly in the new student voice project.

What is the best thing about your campus? 

I may be a little biased but the mock courts in the law building are pretty awesome.

What is your best piece of advice for your fellow students?

To make the most of the support and opportunities that are offered to you!

What instantly puts you in a good mood?

Cooking!

If you could have dinner with anyone - dead or alive, who would it be and why?

If I could have dinner with someone dead or alive, I'd probably choose my great-great grandparents, just to find out more about my family history and where I come from.
