We’re excited to welcome Cats AFLW captain Meg McDonald and 2022 AFL premiership player and Cats’ Pride Ambassador Tom Atkins to our Waurn Ponds Campus for a very special event.

Meg and Tom will chat about the 2022 premiership campaign and the meteoric growth of the AFLW, and tackle some big issues like positive culture, mental health, inclusion and leadership.

Hosted by Tom Molyneux, Deakin’s Indigenous Inclusion Manager, you’ll hear stories from the players’ careers, learn about the team culture at the Cats and have the chance to ask questions in this interactive forum.

There’s also a free dinner and Geelong Cats merch up for grabs!
