It will be fantastic to see Flinders rekindling the on-campus vibrancy for which it is renowned,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be great to see our international students joining us and contributing to our rich social and learning environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be out and about over the coming month to meet and greet students, hear feedback on how we can make the 2022 academic year an excellent experience, and share my thoughts on making the most of our teaching and learning opportunities, both on campus and online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs someone new to Flinders, I\u2019m looking forward to seeing the campus become more dynamic and colourful \u2013 albeit in a COVID-safe manner, with masks and distancing. As you know, we\u2019re currently seeking student feedback on a vaccination policy which, if introduced, would mean that on-campus activities would be open to vaccinated students.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Professor Lawson says the four-week Orientation program at Flinders University commences next week, covering the basics of starting student life at university, through to making friends, managing uni life and developing great study habits.
