Don’t miss an otherworldly experience in MOD’s FLEX exhibition
|
|
Are limits made to be pushed? We dare you to find out. Your capacity for pain will be put to the test and your perception of risk will be gauged in MOD’s FLEX exhibition.
Alter your form and find ways to play, where your body and the rules of the space it inhabits are different than here on Earth. Use your breathing to journey through an immersive deconstructed landscape and see if you make it out on the other side. FLEX that bit further, and let’s see what you are capable of.
FLEX is open until late November 2023.

Overcome difficult emotions with the support of the Counselling Service
|
|
We understand that personal issues can affect your studies sometimes, and the Counselling Service is here to support you. While our experienced counsellors offer short-term support to help you resolve these issues, there are self-help resources and workshops that can help you develop skills to better manage stress and other challenges.
Keep the following tips in mind when coping with challenging situations:
• Don’t suffer alone – talk to others or seek help
• Keep sleep times consistent
• Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise on most days
• Think positively about yourself and your achievements
• Set realistic expectations and avoid putting undue pressure on yourself
Learn more about managing stress through this great article on our website. Remember, if you feel it’s getting too much, you can reach out and have a chat with one of our counsellors.

Oanh Truong: Trendsetting in Vietnam with e-commerce
|
|
Oanh Truong, a UniSA alumna, is making waves in Vietnam's e-commerce industry by leading the fashion category for TikTok Shop Vietnam.
Oanh completed her Masters in Marketing at UniSA, after which she worked in Adelaide and Melbourne before returning to Vietnam in 2019. Realising the abundant opportunities in e-commerce, Oanh's passion for technology and e-commerce led her to work for Lazada, a leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, before moving to TikTok Shop in early 2022 to manage the fashion category.
While enjoying the lifestyle and a wide range of activities in Ho Chi Minh City, Oanh feels Australia has had a profound impact on the person she is today. “I feel so privileged that I chose to study marketing at UniSA. It gave me a very good and profound foundation for what I’m doing now.”
