Giving Day activities
On Thursday 5 September, we’ll be celebrating our second annual Giving Day, both online and on campus. After an incredible result last year, where we surpassed our $350,000 goal, we’re setting our sights even higher this year. There are a number of activation events across our campuses that staff and students can get involved with to "win" extra funds for their chosen Giving Day causes.

More information.
Celebrating our colleagues: Mario Ricci
I’ve always been fascinated with science and especially how the human body works. My mum trained to be a nurse, so in primary school when everyone was reading Winnie the Pooh books, I was instead flipping through her Grey’s Anatomy textbook!
Support for Students Policy
In January this year the University implemented a new Support for Students Policy, outlining how we provide academic and personal support to students. As a result, other policies that support our students have been reviewed this year, including Academic Progress by Course Work Students, and MACA. The Support for Students Policy is required to be reviewed annually. Feedback is being sought on the current policy. Please email epc@adelaide.edu.au by Friday 20 September.
