Magill Student Rep

Hi everyone,
This month has been an active month since the board retreat at the end of January. I have been able to attend the USASA and UniSA Symposium on the 5th of February as well as the networking/Student Voice video launch at the end of the day. At the Symposium I was able to learn more about what USASA does, what different areas within UniSA do and how we can work together to help get the best out for students.

On the 16th of February I was able to attend the NUS State Branch Planning day, hearing from different NUS members from Flinders and Adelaide University in the roles they have within the NUS and how we can work together for students throughout the year.

Later this month I will be chairing the first DEA meeting for the year to finalize different projects from last year as well as look at what we want to do for the rest of the year.

I am excited to meet as many of you as I can at the Magill USASA pop up during orientation week.

Hope everyone has a great month in March.

Hi everyone,
This month was so much fun getting out and meeting a bunch of students and both the orientation pop up events and campus fair. I was able to chat to so many new and existing students about USASA and what we do.

It has been so nice seeing so many students back on campuses and I cant wait for more USASA events and pop ups to connect and engage with students!

Hope everyone has a great break!

Hi everyone,
This month I was pretty quiet apart from a few different meetings I attended to start some projects going on for the rest of the year.

I had a meeting with Yesh Varona, Jackson Polley and Heidi Mander to start discussing the USASA Ball we hope to have at the end of this year. From this meeting we were able to reach out to students with a survey to see if they want and ball and how it might look. This was a great way to start thinking more in depth about what it takes to host an event of this size and start conversations with different venues on how it might look.

I also had a meeting with Zoe Hughes to discuss a possible event at Magill and how we want the event to look and what we want it to be.

I can’t wait to keep working on these events throughout the next month and see what they end up becoming!

I hope everyone is having a great mid-semester break and has a good start back to Uni!

As always I am available for a chat anytime – fawlc001@mymail.unisa.edu.au

This month was a pretty chill month! I was able to start having a conversation around a food pantry idea with USASA staff and how we can help students with the current cost of living crisis. I also was able to attend the Traditional Academic board meeting with staff and students form both UniSA and University of Adelaide to have conversations and discussions on what the new University might look like.

I hope everyone had a good month, always available if anyone needs to chat!

Report to Members

This month I was fortunate enough to attend 2 different conferences and had very insightful conversations with other students and staff members around University/Student life and how I can help to further improve conditions for students within my role.

The first conference I attended was the Walking, Talking and Working Together’ Conference hosted by USYD in relation to Gender Based Violence at Universities. At this conference I spent the day talking with University staff and other student representatives from different universities around Australia on how I can use my role as a Student Representative to help improve campus environments for students.

The second conference I attended was the NUS Education Conference with Oliver and Yesh. I was able to spend the week talking with student representatives from all around Australia about issues facing students and what different student associations are doing to help combat these issues. I watched some very insightful presentations from different student leaders on topics such as food insecurities, period poverty on campus and disability awareness around accessible learning environments for students.

It was also so great to meet so many of you at the SP5 orientation and can't wait to meet more of you over the next few months!

Good luck with the beginning of the semester. Always available for a chat!
