What’s on in Week 1: stop by an event between your first classes!
Welcome to Week 1! It’s always great to see our campuses full of colour, energy and happy faces during the Orientation period and we hope you’re excited to begin your new classes for the study period.
But the fun doesn’t end just yet! We’ve got a bunch of social events continuing on campus this week as part of DUSA OFest (28 February–11 March), plus offerings from DUSA advocacy support and DeakinTALENT. Check out what’s happening on your campus and online, and make sure you stop by between your timetabled activities to grab some free food, meet our clubs, polish your professional skills or even try a sport!
