Meet Your Peers 2023 S2

In order to converge new and previous students, the 2023S2 MEM Student Committee arranged the regular “Meet Your Peers” event. The event was held on 19 September 2023 in Building 189, Parkville Campus. Participants build connections through chat and discussion while having lunch together. In total, 23 students, university staff and alumni attended the event. The committee prepared a Kahoot Quiz about Australia with a prize to enliven the atmosphere and bring the participants closer. 

“The Meet Your Peers Event was organized to facilitate the networking among MEM students. Being part of the organizing committee is challenging and demanding, however, it brings me closer to my peers. The positive outcome exceeded expectations, showing that everyone made an excellent effort for this event.”

— Claudia Febianny Susilo (MEM student commencing S2 2023, chairperson of Meet Your Peers Event)

“The event gives a wonderful chance for us to socialize and build connections since our schedules are typically packed with studies and assignments, leaving little time for such interactions.”

— Benedictus Bagaskoro (MEM student commencing S2 2023)

“Attending the ‘Meet Your Peers’ event has been a remarkable experience. As we navigate our academic journey, events like these provide a respite and knit us closer as a community. It is not just about making new acquaintances but building long-lasting relationships and understanding the diverse tapestry of experiences each student brings to the MEM program. Through collaboration with others and establishing new relationships, I have gained a newfound enthusiasm and optimism towards potential opportunities. “Here’s to many more gatherings like this!”
