WHAT'S HAPPENING
|
UniSA Community Sleepout 2019
|
Join the fight against homelessness!
On the night of Friday 30 August, UniSA will be hosting a Community Sleepout on the Amy Wheaton Lawns at Magill campus to raise funds to support Vinnies SA's homeless services.
Rally
a team together, or get set up as an individual, and start asking your friends, families, and colleagues to sponsor you to swap your warm bed for a piece of cardboard for the night. Whichever way you choose to raise the funds, you'll help make a positive impact on the lives of thousands of South Australians that experience homelessness.
There will also be prizes for the highest individual and team fundraisers!
If you're not able to sleepout, please consider donating to the cause instead. All donations can be made anonymously and are tax deductable.
This event is endorsed by The UniSA+ Award
and can be claimed for 11 hours in the Community Engagement category under the Global and Social Engagement Pillar. |

Midyear scholarships now open – apply now!
|
A scholarship might just provide the helping hand you need to make university life a little easier.
Not only do scholarships provide financial assistance, but they often include valuable work experience, mentoring opportunities, and sometimes even overseas travel.
We have a range of scholarships and grants to support your success at university, and encourage you to apply.

National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day 2019
|
National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day (Children’s Day) is the largest national day to celebrate our children; it has been celebrated across Australia for more than 30 years now, always on 4 August.
Children’s
Day is a time for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to celebrate the strengths and culture of their children, and an opportunity for all Australians to show their support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. It is important to learn about the crucial impact that country, culture, family, and community play in the early lives of every child.
To learn more about this year's theme, We Play, We Learn, We Belong, and why Children's Day is so important, read more at aboriginalchildrensday.com.au.
This
article is supported by the Aboriginal Leadership and Strategy team as part of the University of South Australia's Reconciliation Action Plan. |

UPCOMING EVENTS
|
Enterprise25: Student Forums
|
A key commitment in the University’s strategic plan – Enterprise25 – is to introduce a program-focused organisational structure. We have an ambition to orient ourselves around our academic programs and ensure our resources are focused on the quality of our teaching, research, and student experience.
You may have seen the recent Discussion Paper,
which outlined the proposed academic organisational transformation. Thank you to everyone that took the time to submit feedback.
Following
on from this, all students are invited to join one of a series of student forums between 29-31 July, hosted by Provost & Chief Academic Officer, Professor Allan Evans. These sessions will provide you with the opportunity to find out more about our plans and ask questions.

SALA at the Samstag Museum of Art
|
Join us at the Samstag Museum of Art on Thursday 1 August, 5–7 pm, as we launch like cures like, a solo exhibition centred on new work by Louise Haselton, the feature artist of the 2019 SALA Festival.
Coinciding
with the publication of the 2019 SALA monograph focused on Haselton, Samstag is proud to direct timely and important attention to an inflentual artist at a pivotal moment in her career.
Samstag is also honoured to present Closer,
an exhibition by the late Sandra Elms that underscores the transportive possibilities of the photograph. In the first major gallery presentation of the work of Sandra Elms – an artist and graphic designer with a practice spanning three decades – Closer presents as a meditation on the pleasure found in careful observation, and in returning to a quiet and familiar moment in time.
The launch event is free and will feature a poetry reading by Ken Bolton. All are welcome.
like cures like and Closer will run from Friday 2 August to Friday 27 September 2019.
