Subject: Welcome back ACU



Dear First_Name

With semester right around the corner, we wanted to reach out, say hello and let you know we’re back on Campus and planning for a full year of face to face activities. University is so much more than textbooks and lectures, it’s also a chance for you try new things, join clubs, play sports, gain leadership skills and make lifelong friends. There are countless opportunities to immerse yourself into our vibrant student life at ACU and we want to make it really easy for you to find out how to get involved. That’s why we’re switching up news from ACU. This year you will receive a fortnightly “What’s on” newsletter that contains a comprehensive list of co-curricular offerings on or around Ballarat Campus. So, get your diaries out and let the fun begin.
