25.01.2022 Congratulations to Anja on her appointment as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Officer on the University of Adelaide Student Representative Council!

25.01.2022 Grace, a young Gudang and Upai Purri women, started her Bachelor of Law and International Relations at The University of Adelaide in 2019. As a commencing second year student and alumni of the Karnkanthi Indigenous Education Program, Grace has some tips and tricks for first year students about the transition from high school to University. First year is so fun and my first tip is to get involved. The University offers so many opportunities for you to get comfortable with the... campus, lifestyle and new people you meet. This helps a lot in the (many) moments when you can get overwhelmed. Dont view your studies as just that, it is now your lifestyle and it is going towards your future. One tip I wish I realised last year was that if youre completing the readings, going to every lecture and seminar and still dont understand a concept after you have tried really hard, dont feel overwhelmed and ask for help. If you do the work it all falls into place as the semester goes on. See more

23.01.2022 Today is R U OK Day. It is our national day of action to remind everyone to ask, Are you OK? and to remember to support people who may be struggling with the ups and downs of life. If someone you know is doing it tough, they may not always tell you. Sometimes its up to us to trust our gut and ask someone who may be struggling with life Are you OK?. Our dedicated Student Support Officers and Cultural Advisors are available for a yarn to support you during your university ...experience. By asking and listening, we can help those we care about feel more supported and connected, which can help stop them from feeling worse over time. Lets talk. We are stronger together.

23.01.2022 Today is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Childrens Day! This is a special time to celebrate and empower our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, as well as recognise and learn about the critical role that family, community, country and culture play in their development. The theme for 2020 is, We are the Elders of tomorrow, hear our voice. This theme honours our Elders and highlights the importance of knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islan...der peoples, beginning in childhood. Thank you to Deb, one of our Student Support Officers, for allowing us to share this deadly photo of her and her daughter!

23.01.2022 Rebecca, a young Kokatha women from Ceduna, started in a Bachelor of Engineering (Structural and Architectural) at The University of Adelaide in 2020 and has now since transferred into a Bachelor of Health and Medical Sciences (Advanced) in Semester 2. As an alumni of the Karnkanthi Indigenous Education Program, a Wirltu Yarlu student ambassador and research cadet, Rebecca has some tips for commencing and existing students. Given the current climate, University has been diff...erent, and some may find it daunting. Upholding motivation during an online mode of study can be very difficult for some (even I have struggled with this!) But my tip is to be organised. Whether that be noting all assignment, test etc. dates in your calendar or diary, planning your week in advance, or coming up with a study routine do it! Trust me, falling behind in lectures or content, or realising how busy your next few weeks or month is with the due dates of assignments, quizzes etc. can be an overwhelming feeling, but just learn what does and does not work for you - everyone is different and the best way to learn is from our mistakes .

18.01.2022 This year, National Reconciliation Week gave us an opportunity to come together in new ways and to reflect on what reconciliation really means.

The hands are a nod to the Sea of Hands hosted during NRW 2019, and the different colours represent the different people and language groups who are part of our university community and the Kaurna land it occupies For more info about the week check out the link below: adelaide.edu.au/reconciliation/reconciliation-week
