"A chance to meet and greet other University of Adelaide newbies and learn more about the organisation."

"A nice way to get a bit of history and understanding of the university and to meet other new staff members."

"An overview on the structure, hierarchy and history of the university with the opportunity to meet other new staff members and learn about their work."

"It was a great way to hear the VC's view of the University and to find out what the different divisions do."

"Reinforced why I should feel proud of a University like Adelaide, it's history and values and why I should be here. Enjoyable event and another opportunity to make Uni-wide connections."
