Last week, we hosted Success Week, and we’re thrilled to share that it was a huge success!
With students across all our campuses participating in various events, Success Week provided an excellent opportunity to celebrate achievements, connect with peers, plan for the future and focus on what it truly means to succeed during your time at uni.
Careers Festival
Students had the opportunity to open their mind to career opportunities at the 2025 Business, Government, and Corporate Service & STEM Career Festivals. Held at Bedford Park and Tonsley Campus, over 50 employees exhibited providing information on graduate programs, internships and ‘work while you study’ opportunities.
New Venture Institute
Flinders New Venture Institute is Flinders University’s centre for innovation and entrepreneurship, dedicated to building student innovation and entrepreneurial capabilities. NVI hosted daily workshops designed to equip students with the tools and skills essential for long-term success. NVI’s goal is to future-proof students, from developing creative and innovative thinking, exploring an idea, or validating a business concept with professional support, NVI has programs that meet support students at every stage. Keep an eye out for upcoming workshops!
What success means to you
We asked you to share your personal definitions of success, and we were overwhelmed by the incredible response! It was glorious to see over 500 submissions received, with a wide range of perspectives. As the responses came in, the word cloud began to grow, reflecting the diversity of thoughts and experiences among our student body. Many students shared similar views, while others offered unique insights into their personal journeys. We hope everyone found value in seeing how their peers define success. Highlighting the importance of community and how we all shape our own path toward success.
Were you unable to share your personal definition of success? You can still let us know what success means to you at Flinders and add to the word cloud here. This will help shape the new Student Success strategy for the University.
Let’s keep the momentum going
The positive energy and engagement throughout the week proved that Flinders is a community of students dedicated to both their academic and personal success. Thank you to everyone who participated and we hope you feel inspired to keep striving for success and well-being throughout the rest of the semester.
Success at university is about nurturing your mental and physical well-being, staying connected with others, and finding joy in your journey toward your goals. Stay tuned for more events and opportunities designed to help you succeed — because at Flinders, we’re committed to supporting you every step of the way.
