Getting to know YOUR Student Representatives They are YOUR representative’s on campus. A team who put on a ton of events (how good was G-Flip at Toga!?), oversee and support clubs (a complete guide of which is included in this issue), and most importantly advocate for YOU while you’re here at university. Now’s your opportunity to get to know the dedicated individuals who make up Wagga SRC! I believe that representation is a fundamental part of achieving better outcomes for all students. As President my aim is to oversee an increased role of the SRC at Charles Sturt, from putting on even bigger events to working with clubs to help build on campus vibrancy. I hope to increase communication within the student body through the publication of Hungappa, and to be a voice for Wagga based students on the Charles Sturt University Student Senate. I’m looking forward to working with such a talented group of individuals!
Craig Dixon | President, Hungappa Editor and Student Senate Representative I joint the SRC because I want to be involved in all aspects of university life. I thoroughly enjoy attending SRC events and am a member of several different clubs. I feel like being on the SRC is a great opportunity to gain new skills and work on my leadership skills. At the end of my 4 year degree I would like to look back and feel proud that I helped make a positive impact on the Charles Sturt community!
Chantelle Meintjes | Vice President I’m Hannah and I’m a second year Raddie! I only joined the SRC in 2019 and am now the secretary. My role on the SRC is to ensure meetings are effectively organised and minuted, and to maintain effective records and administration. As well as being on the SRC I am secretary of RAW and Social Coordinator of the WAC Netball Club.

This year my goal is to listen to the student body and advocate for what YOU want to see happen within the university. I am proud and passionate. Don’t be afraid to apporach or message me for a chat!
Georgia Boschke | Treasurer and Student Senate Representative I became a part of the SRC because I believe I can make a difference by voicing people’s ideas and issues to enable the opportunity for improvement of the students experience during their time at Charles Sturt. I would like to help improve the Charles Sturt experience by trying to increase the integration of different courses through social activities and events, to allow people of different lives and interests to be able to meet.
Ella Corbett | Environmental Officer I’ve always loved being involved and making a difference in my community and I’ve always been willing to put up my hand and give things a go. I absolutely love organising events and operating as a voice for on-campus students. I’m passionate about my beliefs and have the drive to see things through all of which are important for success in a committee such as ours..
Ali Williams | Events Officer Social engagement brings the greatest personal satisfaction to my life. I am absolutely keen to actively engage with other students to help to make our time at Charles Sturt a special and unique life experience!t

The
Impact
Factor
A column by Emily Cross
Part One: Making a Researcher
W
hite lab coats, test tubes, lab mice, The Nobel Prize. All buzzwords for some aspects of science research. But how can you actually become a researcher? Scientists are all around us, from the pathology lab medical scientist to the agronomist in the field. However, some scientists may decide to embark in research by studying postgraduate degree(s) that allow specialisation in a niche area. Entry into postgrad studies generally requires an undergraduate degree, and in some cases, there may be selection criteria (such as your GPA). Undertaking postgrad degrees are great if you have a particular passion or interest and want to deepen your understanding in a specific area. Further studies after undergrad are optional and include honours, masters, and a PhD- but you don’t necessarily have to do all three! In brief, honours are a short (typically 1-year full time) additional degree following undergrad with an independent research project that is investigated under the guidance/mentorship of a supervisor. Some honours projects include course work and you need to write a final thesis to explain your findings. People may complete honours to improve career prospects or as a steppingstone to further postgrad studies. Masters is a longer course (2-3 years) and can be completed by course work or by research (sometimes a combination of both!). It results in expertise and in-depth knowledge in an area of study or professional practice.

HUNGAPPA TERM 1 2019
A PhD is a longer commitment, taking 3-4 years involving comprehensive research of a particular topic or area. To enrol in a PhD, generally an undergraduate degree plus honours or masters is required. You will investigate an original research project and communicate your questions and findings through presentations and a thesis (made of multiple chapters). It’s a long slog, but when you graduate you get to wear a special hat and have earned the title of Dr (in Finland you also get a sword!!). This is a short overview of how some postgrad courses work and it is worth mentioning that postgrad isn’t necessarily the best fit for all. If you want to know more (like if you can study part time or online) contact the university, speak to lecturers and course co-ordinators, and talk to students already studying! You may be on your way to making the discoveries that become the key concepts in those heavy textbooks students have to lug around!
