Monash has often been known to hold gatherings and events that represent its multicultural student population. The Indonesian Independence Night, that was held on the 18/8/18, was no exception. Starting with a brief introduction in honor of the 73rd anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia’s Independence, the speakers explained that this event was organized to…

Being shocked is an understatement used to describe the reactions of passersby to the sight at Monash Sports Centre. What seemed innocently like a registration booth for the School of Business’ Mingle Night was crowded with students and the undead. Yes. You read that right, zombies complete with gashes of red, the low hum of…

“11 years later, I’m back to still talk about sexual harassment” — Ivy Josiah There’s something quite chilling having to hear activists comment on our social climate where seemingly so much has progressed since, while so little has changed. Monash had the privilege of inviting two of the most prolific female figures to deliver speeches…

Trust me, hit that Limbo Rock by Chubby Checker and you’re going to be shocked at how low some of these Monash Engineers can go… eerily similar to how we all avoid life responsibilities honestly. On 7th August, the School of Engineering Student Representatives and committee hosted a Buddy-Buddee night to connect over 100 junior…

Diversity and inclusivity have become buzzwords amongst higher education institutions.

“This is your 10th year, I want you to look good on the floor.” It was about the fiftieth time we’d heard our dance instructor, Ms. Sharon, say it. For weeks now she’d been patiently coaching us through our many routines, and she has never failed to emphasise Monash Dance Fusion Club’s milestone — our 10th…

Welcome home, fellow struggling Monashians! New sem, new you but same old routine of dreading to get out of bed to sit in a lecture you only have a 5-minute attention span for and trying to decide on a place for lunch knowing you’d end up eating in the school’s cafeteria anyway (Thank god for…

With the blink of an eye, our rather short semester break is now over and we are now back on campus, in the midst of reacclimating to the rigour that is uni life. To welcome us back, the Monash University Student Association (MUSA) organised a back to school carnival from Tuesday, 24 July 2018 to…

It’s that time of the semester again! The familiar feeling of sleep deprivation, lethargy from all the mini panic attacks you get throughout the day because: if you don’t get through this degree, you’re not going to get a job; and if you don’t get a job then you won’t have financial freedom; and that…

Thanks to Hollywood, most of us seem to be entrenched with the idea that photoshoots are just fun and glamorous, nothing else. MEC decided to provide the students of Monash with a more realistic approach towards creating a ~*lewk*~ and making sure that not only does it look good on Instagram, but also looks fantastic…

“Is this a speed dating event?” asked a passerby at the sight of the pairs of chairs arranged closely together with a small table in between at the Foyer.

On the 7th of May 2018, the Monash Performing Arts Club (MPAC) hosted their 8th semi-annual Night of Drama, right here on campus. Essentially, this event allowed members of MPAC to showcase their talents. At the start of the semester, the members are grouped up and are tasked to come up with short plays roughly…
