Enjoy food, fun times and exploring your campus at DUSA OFest!
Are you new to Deakin this year? Are you a returning student who can’t wait to immerse yourself back into campus life? Then make sure you check out OFest!
Hosted by the Deakin University Student Association (DUSA), OFest will run from 5–16 July as a series of on- and off-campus social activities to celebrate OWeek, get you settled into T2, and have you meeting and mingling with new uni pals over good food, good music and all sorts of fun and games!
- All current OFest events are free but some require registration – places get snapped up quickly, so register now! We’ll also be holding open events on each campus so make sure you take some time to explore and stop by between your classes.
- Rest assured all events will be running in a COVIDSafe way, but please familiarise yourself with Deakin’s COVIDSafe rules before attending campus. We also recommend you stay posted for updates on the events you’ve registered for as COVID-19 restrictions evolve.
