In celebrating wellbeing week, recently graduated Flinders students share vital well-being tips and resources in these must-watch videos covering everything from finances to fitness and finding your community.
In wellbeing services, we dedicate ourselves to promoting the wide range of support available to students. However, we know that sometimes, the most impactful messages come directly from your peers – those who truly understand the university experience firsthand. That’s why we are absolutely delighted to share this series of videos created by past Flinders students, Connor and Franca. As familiar faces who have previously helped us showcase student life and support, they bring a unique and relatable perspective.
