Become an Ally with UniSA’s Ally Network
|
|
Are you passionate about supporting and respecting our students who are gender and sexually diverse? We’re inviting you to become a UniSA Ally!
An Ally Network is a voluntary network of students and staff who are committed to supporting and promoting an environment of inclusivity and empowerment, ensuring that all students and staff can safely study and work, free of harassment or discrimination.
Allies can be people who identify as sexually or gender diverse and those who do not, but they must be committed to ongoing learning and self-reflection. |

Tips from students: staying focused and avoiding procrastination
|
|
I find studying at home terribly distracting, so having an accurate schedule is key! To be successful, I keep a diary of tasks, schedule in advance, keep in touch with my friends for support, and plan for leisure time. A quiet area is also essential! My advice for studying effectively at home is plan your day the night before, stick to your schedule, take short breaks and get some sunshine where possible.

Studying
from home takes a lot of motivation to avoid procrastination, so I plan a goal, even if it’s only a little each day. Even though we don’t need to attend classes on campus, make sure you still attend all tutorials and lectures, and listen to recordings if you don’t understand something, particularly before exams. Don’t put off writing your assignments, as you need plenty of time understanding the topic and what is required. And finally, try not to use social media when you’re studying – keep study time only for study.

Our top tips on being disability inclusive
|
|
Did you know 1 in 5 Australians have a disability? You’ll likely meet someone with a disability in your lifetime and it’s important to be courteous when you do. We spoke to Alana, a UniSA alumni who works in disability sport, who gave us some tips on how to be more inclusive:
• Use person-first language. Acknowledge the person first, and their disability second. For example, “Bob is living with Autism Spectrum Disorder” is more considerate than “Bob is autistic”.
• Be patient. Someone may need an extra five seconds to understand what you’ve said.
• Ask. Don’t assume someone needs help. Asking is okay and appreciated.
• Kindness
is everything. Smile at people, include them in tutorial discussions and if they’re sitting alone, ask them to join you. A small gesture goes a long way.
Be sure to check out Alana’s UniSA Instagram Takeover on Thursday 21 May. If you want to learn more about sport and disability, check out Special Olympics’ FREE training resources on how to be more inclusive!
