How good is it when first semester is finally done and dusted? If you’ve still got some time to go, hang in there! Not long now, BUT before you switch off for the winter break, a few reminders and dates and news for you….
Volunteer rewards and recognition
You may have noticed I’ve mentioned registering your volunteering hours on ACULife a couple of times. Well, don't forget because we have new volunteer rewards and recognition plans in the works. You'll remember that you can now get an end-of-year certificate showing ALL your Student Life volunteering – but we’re also planning a Volunteer of the Year and campus awards, and are still looking for volunteer leaders for each campus. Stay tuned for more, or if you can't wait, hit me up at studentlife.volunteering@acu.edu.au.
REMINDER: volunteer for Midyear Orientation in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne
Did you forget to sign up for Midyear Orientation? Don't miss out - new friends, free food, a free tshirt, entertainment, and an exclusive volunteer-only invite to your campus party await! Join us between 19—21 July to make sure our midyear starters get a great welcome to their study at ACU. Register at https://aculife.acu.edu.au/click?linkid=6d945611-28d5-4539-87b4-27c57845ac06
Sydney students: want to get out and about?
Sydney is one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Volunteer with Student Life and spend a day with other ACU students and staff helping out at the City2Surf on Tuesday 9 or Sunday 14 August, and/or the Oxfam Trailwalker on Saturday 27 or Sunday 28 August. We’ll organize your registration as well as help with transport. NOTE: You won’t be running/competing/walking in the event! We’ll be packing snack packs, handing out water and bibs, marshalling and other things that don’t require anyone to be too athletic (lucky for me).

REMINDER: Open Day volunteering
Open Day, at every campus, is our big chance to dress to impress, show off all we have to offer to potential new students and their families and eat lots of free gelato/donuts/etc. Find the date for your campus and register at: https://aculife.acu.edu.au/click?linkid=f24c2cce-b44c-4444-b8db-f15ae1b497ce
Brisbane Student Ambassador role applications close 27 June
If you’re in Brisbane, apply to become an ACU Student Ambassador. This great casual role offers flexibility and variety travelling to schools, expos, or helping to run on-campus events and is super fun (I should know, I used to do it!). You'll earn $37.83 providing information about ACU to prospective students and still have time to volunteer. What's not to like? Apply on Careerhub now.
Questions? As always: studentlife.volunteering@acu.edu.au.
Cheers, Juliet
