September 2021 Update
President’s Address
The Monash Energy Club Committee hopes that everyone is managing and coping through the more recent lockdowns in Victoria. Undeniably, despite having done this before, we are definitely finding this to be more difficult and a bit of a struggle. If you have been feeling the same, please make sure to reach out to friends and family and talk about how you are feeling. This isn’t something you have to emotionally process alone.
In accompaniment to the mental and emotional struggles of dealing with the lockdowns, the Monash Energy Club is also facing some practicality issues. Our “Brighter Future” Expo that we were looking forward to bringing to you, is now postponed due to the current restrictions. We will now be looking to hold the event towards the end of the year (more details to be confirmed), where we can bring students together in person. Unfortunate as this is, this just gives the Committee more time to make the event even bigger and better for you! Make to sign up to attend and participate! Keep reading for more information about the expo.
2021 Student Expo: A Brighter Future
Research Conference
As we have postponed the student expo, we are now extending the submission of abstracts to the end of October. Don’t forget to submit an abstract if you are interested in giving a presentation of your research, presenting your work as a poster, or both! If you submit a poster for our expo, we will also require you to submit a 5 min video explaining your work, but it means you will also be entering our poster competition. We will be judging all the submitted posters and the chosen winner will be receiving a $1000 cash prize, thanks to the support of MGA! So, make sure to submit an entry!
