ANUSA CoL REPS WELCOME I’m Lily, one of your two ANUSA College of Law representatives from 2021. I’m originally from Sydney and am in my fourth year of studying an Arts/Law degree, majoring in French Language and Culture and minoring in Gender and Sexuality. As ANUSA representatives, our role is to fight for the best interests of all ANU law students. We are here to help with any academic issues you may face. Are you unsure about how to satisfy Honours requirements of your degree? Confused about how going on exchange affects your GPA? Want to know how you can appeal a grade? We can help you out! Studying law is an invaluable opportunity to critically analyse why the world works the way it does, and how certain systems and processes regulate our behaviour. Whether you’re passionate about social justice, want to sink your teeth into the world of corporate law, aspire to work in diplomacy, or are eager to learn from a diverse range of students with differing perspectives – the CoL offers a wealth of opportunities.
LILY HENKE ANUSA College of Law Representative
My greatest piece of advice for first year students is to not let these opportunities go to waste. I encourage you to sign up for first year mentoring programs, attend O-week and first year social events and to get involved in extra-curriculars. Law school is known to absolutely fly by, so make the most of it while you can! Secondly, I urge you to reach out for help if you need it. Making the transition from high school to university can be a challenging adjustment, and often reaching out for some extra guidance makes all the difference! Hey everyone! My name is Isabel Marsh and I’m one of your College of Law Representatives for this year. I’m originally from Melbourne and am currently in my fifth year studying Law and International Relations, minoring in French Language and Culture. Through our role as your College of Law Representatives this year, we are here to support you as you embark on your journey at Law School and are your main point of contact if you have any academic-related issues. My biggest piece of advice is to try as many new things as you can, both at law school and university generally. Like Lily mentioned above, there are so many things you can get involved in and the law school runs many fantastic programs, events, and clubs you can join.

University is such a unique time in your life and the perfect opportunity to try something new. Best of luck for this coming year as you start the next exciting chapter in your lives. Please feel free to reach to us this year if you need any support, help or just a chat! 2021 FIRST YEAR GUIDE
