Albany Students’ Association

BY EMMA MEZGER

The Albany Students’ Association proudly represents rural students studying at the University of Western Australia’s Albany Campus. The campus currently supports approximately 200 students, including those undertaking studies in the Smart Start program, undergraduate and postgraduate students. The Albany Students’ Association ultimately works to provide all students with equal opportunities while studying at the Albany campus.

The Association continues to engage with the student body by hosting a variety of on-campus and off-campus events. We have a ‘walk in’ common room to provide Albany students a comfortable, fun, and safe environment to study and socialise. We also continue to engage students in decision-making by hosting public meetings and working closely with the UWA Regional Strategy. The Association works to build positive relationships with the wider Albany community through regular collaboration with Friends of UWA Albany and participating in Albany campaigns.

In 2022 we look to establish stronger communication with the Guild in Perth, as well as maintain our positive relationship with the wider University community, the Friends of UWA Albany and City of Albany community.
