The Weekly E-News for Blue Gum House Residents
Commencement Dinner
The Commencement Dinner is an annual event and this year will be held at Preview Restaurant, right on Campus.
There is a three course meal (free!), good music and the presentation of the 2013 Semester Two Academic Awards.
Dress is semi-formal, this is the perfect time to relax before university begins and celebrate the year ahead for Blue Gum House.
Please register via the WuFoo form and let Sam and Julia know you are attending.
Also coming up this week are the O Week events organised by Campus Central and Campus Life; get involved, meet new people, make memories!
Cheers,
Troy
