ʚ ɞ Time flies when you're having fun, and September really flew by ʚ ɞ
It's been a jam packed month filled with exciting events and projects. Here's just some of the highlights:
1, 2, 3 & 4: World Park(ing) Day where our talented Event Management students worked with @explore_curtin to transform the car bays along Koorliny Way for the global celebration where car parks are turned into vibrant, innovative spaces. 🚗
5: Students and staff went head-to-head in Curtin's inaugural Science and Engineering cricket match in Raphael Park, Victoria Park. 🏏
6: Planet Positive Day – the Curtin community got together to learn about, engage with, and positively contribute to the Planet Positive Program, a program which aims to create a more sustainable future for all. 🌏
7: Our @fblcurtin students returned from completing the International Honours Program at the prestigious @stanford University 🛬
8: Curtin’s @wasmwallabies welcomed ten esteemed companies on campus as part of their Engineering First Year Networking event, bringing together a diverse blend of students and professionals for meaningful connections and knowledge-sharing. ⛏️
9 & 10: @fblcurtin took a group of international students on a field trip to Northam as part of @bupaaustralia Insurance’s ‘Let’s Talk’ program. Students learned about indigenous heritage, took part in a collaborative artwork session and dot painting experience inspired by the native flowers of Djilba season. 🌱

It’s coming up to the pointy end of semester, and we’re feeling the pinch. 🤏
We're all guilty of telling ourselves to just *push through* when feelings of burnout are on the horizon, but even taking the smallest of breaks to breathe and reset can help.
Why not take some time out in the Comfort Corner? There’s still time this semester to drop in for a chat with a peer, feel welcome and meet other students at the Library on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12 – 2pm until 19 October.
These student-led sessions are informal, with the opportunity to get involved in social games, relax or chat with a student mentor.

Have you ever taken a huge risk to chase your dream? ✨
That's exactly what PhD student, Adele, did on her path to become a palaeontologist. After suffering a career setback after her honours year, Adele moved thousands of kilometres away from her family to Winton in outback Queensland to work at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History.
It was there, on a dinosaur dig, where she met Steve – her now supervisor. And it was this chance meeting that led to an opportunity for her to start a PhD.
Since then, she's been fortunate enough to name Australia’s most complete pterosaur to date, Ferrodraco lentoni, worked on fossils ranging from about 107 million – 95 million years old, was named a finalist for the Queensland Women in STEM Prize and more.
"I’ve learned so much from Steve; everything I know about how to prepare a manuscript and photographing fossils. We’ve spent a lot of time together, working in the field, museum collection trips, and those experiences have really helped us strengthen a good working relationship."
Read Adele's full story at the link in our bio.

Curious about the transformative impact of Curtin Extra? Meet Fran, a passionate student pursuing a Master of Sexology.
Fran's academic path was illuminated by a lifelong fascination with the human body, health, identity, relationships, and sexuality. Her goal is clear – to use her knowledge to make a positive impact in the field of sexology post-graduation.
Her journey towards sexology has taken an interesting path. After completing a Bachelor of Science (Nutrition) and Master of Dietetics in 2015, she ventured into the professional realm as a dietitian. Yet, she was eager to build her knowledge and pursue her Master of Sexology part-time in 2021.
One highlight of her journey? The "block weeks" at Curtin, where she connects with peers and immerses herself in course content.
“As someone who lives regionally, I do majority of my studies online. However, for some units we have the opportunity to come to Perth for a one-week intensive ‘block’ on Curtin campus, where we hang out with our peers and immerse ourselves in the course content.”
Balancing work, life, and studies has been challenging yet rewarding. She advises her fellow students to embrace the initial struggle when writing assignments.
"It’s helpful to ‘pour off’ the bad ideas and be comfortable with writing a bit of gobbledegook at the beginning.”
Fran's journey goes beyond the classroom. She joined the Curtin Extra program, embarking on a transformative interdisciplinary placement in India. She believes this experience has broadened her perspective, deepened her cultural understanding, and enriched her future practice.
The Curtin Extra program left her with invaluable exposure to different countries, cultures, and health systems. She now understands how these 'extra' experiences strengthen knowledge and skills, making better clinicians.
Fran's story in continued in the comments…

Q: What have you learned in the first few weeks of semester? 🙋🌍
–
"I learned that it’s challenging to be an International student. As an immigrant myself, I know how challenging it is to settle in a different country away from family and try to communicate with other people. So I really give my props and respect for my international friends for choosing to live in Australia and go to uni here. " ✈️
