Claire is currently completing the fifth and final year of her Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of International Studies. She works as a legal assistant and also enjoys reading and roller derby. Claire's daily coffee intake is zero, none, nothing (and no, she is not okay!).

As the President, Claire's role is to be the external face of the DLSS to third parties. She corresponds with the Deakin Law Faculty, the Victorian Law Students' Society, the Law Institute of Victoria and others to advocate for the interests of Deakin law students. Claire works to support and further each of the DLSS portfolios' visions for 2022, helping to enhance the student experience at Deakin law school.

Claire initially joined the DLSS with the aim of improving her own University life and was elated to find that it did give her the opportunities she had hoped for; to meet like-minded people and to be involved in the creation of initiatives benefiting the law cohort.

Claire hopes to build on the hard work already begun by this year's DLSS team, to strengthen its efforts to support students transitioning back onto campus and provide transparency about this process. Claire is also excited to work collaboratively with the VicLSS to establish statewide policies regarding sexual harassment and ethical sponsorship. .

Surina first joined the DLSS in her second year of University as she was eager to build connections with a wider variety of the law cohort. After meeting the committee on her First Year Law Camp, she was excited to get involved and make incredible friends that will continue long after she finishes her degree.

Her focus for this year is to create a safe space where officers and directors are able to enjoy and be proud of the work and events they create. She hopes to ensure the foundations of a positive working environment are strongly established and reinforced throughout the year.

Surina has also set a goal to refine and revise DLSS' current policies and procedures, as well as to formally establish and welcome the DLSS' first policy on Sexual Harassment.

Rather than marketing our content, Communications focuses on informing members about what they can expect from the DLSS to keep the society accountable. It’s also the portfolio responsible for collating and creating multi-portfolio content, such as the First Year, JD and Unit guides, and the flagship magazine Et-Cetera.
