City East Student Rep

This month I attended the Board Retreat (on the 29th and 30th of January). It was an insightful experience that helped me connect with fellow representatives and better prepare for the year ahead. We had our first board meeting on 30th January.

Following the retreat, I had a meeting with the City West undergrad rep to discuss goals for the year. It was a helpful conversation where we figured out things we could work on to improve student engagement and representation. In addition, I also caught up with USASA staff to talk about how things have been going so far. It was a great chance to get feedback and ask questions.

I attended the USASA Stakeholder Symposium and the opening of the clubhouse on the 12th of February. I found the symposium informative and a great way of being introduced to staff and the constituents. The clubhouse opening was an exciting event as well. It was great to see the enthusiasm from students and staff.

Hey everyone !!!

Throughout late February and March 2025, I participated in some USASA events and advocacy panels. The orientation, the International Student Reception, and the campus fairs were great opportunities to engage with new and returning students, promote USASA services, and encourage student involvement in clubs.

I also had the opportunity to attend a few club events during March — the Islamic Society’s Iftar Dinner, ISASA’s Holi celebration, and the Catholic Club’s Welcome Night (UoA). These events were well organised and provided a chance to connect with students from different cultures.

In addition to event representation, I also attended a couple of formal inquiries, Preclusion Appeals Committee training, and the Student Misconduct Committee to ensure student voices were present in institutional decision-making.

During April 2025, I continued to engage in a variety of events and meetings that supported student involvement, cultural celebration, and representative advocacy. The month began with the USASA Board Meeting on April 1st, where key updates and student-focused decisions were discussed among board members.

On April 2nd, I joined fellow representatives at the Multicultural Fest, a vibrant and inclusive event that brought together students from diverse backgrounds and promoted cultural awareness across campuses. The following day, April 3rd, I attended ISASA’s Chai Vibes event alongside other USASA representatives, where we connected with international students in an informal setting and fostered a sense of community.

On April 17th, I participated in a nature walk organized by the UniSA Psychology Society, promoting student wellbeing and social connection. Later in the month, on April 21st, I took part in ISASA’s Felicitation and Networking Event, which brought together representatives and members from ISASA, FISA, and AISS, highlighting the collaborative spirit among students.

The month concluded with an Extra USASA Board Meeting on April 22nd to address additional agenda items and ensure continuity in student representation.
