social activities officer

Cooper Graetz

As Social Activities Officer I wish to provide both social, academic and professional events from FUSA itself but also provide training and instruction to clubs to help them reach a scope of students beyond FUSA alone. I believe that social events are as vital to students as professional and academic for their development. I have experience in leadership positions in clubs such as the Tabletop “Und” Role Play Enthusiasts, Academic Science Club and Undead Poets and Writers Society. These have given me vital experience in organizing and running events that will be vital for this position.

Nethli Peiris

Hi all! My name is Nethli Peiris and I am running for the position of ‘Social Activities Officer’ with UNITE.

From a young age, student representation has been something I have been greatly passionate about and have focused on in my extracurriculars. Through many years of leadership involvement, I have had the privilege to work alongside a diverse range of staff and students. This has given me invaluable insight on the key skills required for such a role, and has ultimately allowed me to hone-in on learning the strategies behind what makes an effective two-way channel between students and leadership groups.

During my degree, I have had the opportunity to be a Topic Representative for 6 topics which has allowed me to further build on my ability to work with a diverse range of academics from various colleges within Flinders.

I also have 4+ years experience being a member of the Adelaide Sri Lankan Students Association (ASLSA), served as Vice President in 2021 and am now the current President of the association. I am also a Year Representative for the Flinders University Medical Science Society (FUMSS).

Involvement and leading associations such as these has allowed me to host a plethora of social events and community-based activities. Through this, I have accumulated the skills necessary to provide that linkage between the Student Council, FUSA Events Team and Students Clubs as well as effectively provide input to Student Council from a social activities perspective.

I truly believe that proper voicing of students’ opinions acts as a catalyst for igniting positive change. Hence, alongside UNITE, I would love to have the opportunity to utilise my experience and grasp students’ ideas to strategically implement them in the form of social events.

Antonio Pupulin

Hello everyone! My name is Antonio Pupulin, I am currently a 1st-year master’s student in biotechnology, and I am running to be your Social Activities Officer!

Anyone who has moved away from home knows how difficult it is to make friends in a new environment. Using my own experience as an international student who has made Adelaide their home, I will work towards a more inclusive and welcoming university. Flinders has welcomed me and has been instrumental in creating lasting connections for me here, so I want to ensure that everyone receives the same welcome.

Joining a club or two (or several!) is the perfect way to immerse yourself within the community, so I will make sure that clubs receive the resources they need to continue doing what they do best – creating connections that will last a lifetime!

I believe that clubs are crucial to the fabric of Flinders and I will build our campus community around them. I intend to foster a campus-wide sense of community by promoting existing clubs and events and expanding opportunities to integrate with the day-to-day operations at FUSA.

I will do this by using my experience of being a member of several clubs and advocating for students as a topic representative to build up our campus culture. With my drive, dedication, and enthusiasm, I will ensure that there is a place for everyone here at Flinders!

I have chosen to run with Activate because they are a welcoming group of diverse students who are striving towards bringing out the best in their peers and empowering them to make a positive change on and off campus.
