Hello everyone, this is Steven (ATSI SRC Rep).

I hope the first semester has gone well for you all.

I just wanted to inform everyone that I have been lucky enough to get a new job and as such I will not be at Adelaide University next semester.

I hope someone can be found to fill this role quickly. I was happy to have the position. It is exciting, getting to meet the new Indigenous students, go to committee meeting with representatives from the other cohorts and be involved in student lead initiatives around the university.

We will need to find a new SRC Rep as soon as possible. So if anyone is interested in taking over the role please email Steven Pappin or Wirltu Yarlu, to let us know you are interested or if you want more information about the role.
