For those who may not know, for the past 2 years I have been President of the Mature Age Student Club at La Trobe Uni in Bendigo. MASC is an important club as we have many mature age students on campus. Last year MASC won the Club Development Award at the Bendigo Student Association Awards night. I was unable to attend the awards as I was on exchange with @appstateoied . This year I was not going to miss out! So, I am very proud to announce that MASC has won the Club Development Award for the second year in a row! We have worked hard to build a club for our members and it is great to be recognised for our work. Now, as an unexpected surprise, I am very honoured to announce that I was awarded Club Person of the Year. ♥️. This means the world to me as I do work hard for the club and it is gratifying to be recognised. I will be handing over the reigns next month and I know the club will be in good hands next year. MASC has been a major part of my uni experience, which I will never forget. Plus, they wont forget me, my name is on a plaque hanging in the wall in the BSA office. 😂 @bsa_bendigo @latrobeunibendigo @mylatrobe @latrobeuni @masc.bsaclub #matureagestudent

Beni from Bendigo in Bundoora! Today we attended a student advisory group meeting at the La Trobe Bundoora campus. It is important to provide feedback to the university from a student perspective, plus we get to experience a day in the life of another campus! . #benifrombendigo @latrobeuni @latrobeunibendigo @mylatrobe

View from the library, might be worth packing up and heading outside today! @mylatrobe @latrobeunibendigo #unilife #assignmentsdue #whenisthemidsemeterbreak?!

Beni from Bendigo loves Japan as much as I do. This was Beni’s first trip and my fourth, this time for a two week study abroad program. Would you take the leap for two weeks for one subject complete? 🇯🇵 #benifrombendigo #studyabroad @latrobeunibendigo @latrobeuni @latrobeoverseas @cis_australia @cisabroad @japan_onsite @seisen_university #japan #tokyo @mylatrobe

What a fantastic experience. Completing one subject in two weeks at @seisen_university in Tokyo, Japan, proves that study abroad is an option for everyone. Even Beni from Bendigo was involved in the program. 🐨 Thank You @cis_australia, @cisabroad, @japan_onsite & @seisen_university ! 🇯🇵 @latrobeunibendigo @latrobeoverseas @mylatrobe @latrobeuni #studyabroad @masc.bsaclub #matureagestudent

Beni has made friends with Harajuku Girls. . #harajukugirls #benifrombendigo #studyabroad @latrobeoverseas @latrobeunibendigo @cis_australia @cisabroad @japan_onsite

One reason to study abroad is to experience and learn traditions of another culture. Here Beni is practicing the art of a Japanese tea ceremony under the supervision of Japanese tea masters. 🇯🇵 #benifrombendigo #studyabroad #culture #teaceremony #japan @latrobeoverseas @latrobeunibendigo @latrobeuni @mylatrobe @japan_onsite @cis_australia @cisabroad
