Announcing the winners of UniSA’s Student Volunteer of the Year Award
|
|
A huge congratulations to Reene Dahima and Lucia Rojas for winning the coveted UniSA Student Volunteer of the Year Award in 2024!
Reene has spent more than 200 hours in the past year volunteering at UniSA and the broader community, including helping people who have been released from incarceration to integrate back into society, providing social outings for the elderly and people with disability, and supporting children impacted by family mental illness.
As an international student, Lucia embraced volunteering roles that helped other international students overcome language barriers, boost their confidence, explore opportunities and scholarships, and enhance their prospects. She also assists elderly individuals with their shopping, and plays a role in creating workshops that strengthened connections with the Latin community. |

Give back and enrich your life through volunteering
|
|
Volunteering is a great way to make a difference while boosting your professional skillset. By volunteering on campus or in your community, you can support causes that matter to you.
It also helps you enhance your resume, meet new people, and boost your confidence and wellbeing. Plus, volunteering could be the perfect way to break into your industry and gain relevant experience in your area of study.
If you’d like to make an impact through volunteering, explore opportunities on the UniSA volunteering website. You’ll find roles within UniSA and other organisations nationwide. |

You will walk away with a fresh perspective through hands-on learning experiences, and your participation can be counted towards the UniSA+ Award.
Communicate with clarity and nurture your networks | Tuesday 26 November | 10:00am – 1:00pm
