What’s happening this week during OFest: stop by for some fun between your first classes!
Welcome to Week 1! It was great to see our campuses once again full of colour, energy and happy faces during OWeek and we hope you’re excited to begin your new classes for the study period.
Check out some of the highlights from OWeek:
But the fun doesn’t end there! We’ve got a bunch of events continuing on campus this week as part of OFest (28 February–11 March), hosted by your very own Deakin University Student Association (DUSA). Make sure you stop by between your timetabled activities to grab some food, meet our clubs or even try a sport!
All events will be running in a COVIDSafe way, but remember to familiarise yourself with Deakin’s COVIDSafe requirements and submit your vaccination status form before attending campus if you haven’t already done so.
So, what’s happening, you ask? Let’s take a look at the OFest events on your campus this week.
