  • 04 Quarterly Report 2017 WEB.Pdf
    RMIT University Student Union Fourth Quarter Report Reporting Period: 1 October – 31 December 2017 President’s Report s we come to the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on 2017 and the many A fantastic things the RMIT University Student Union has been able to achieve. We’re proud of the progress we have made throughout the year and the continued hard work of our student representatives and team of staff. With the completion of the New Academic Street, RUSU was able to finally re-open our Realfoods cafe. The new space in Building 8 has been a long time coming, but it looks fantastic and we can’t wait to really embrace it in 2018. It’s important for students to have access to affordable healthy, ethical, and sustainable food and drinks on campus, and we’re so pleased with how the new storefront has turned out. Constitutional changes do not happen very often, but in 2017 we were able to make a very significant one with the introduction of an Indigenous Officer position on the Student Union Council. The first RUSU Indigenous Officer, Jedda Rocha Costa started her term on 1 November. Welcome Jedda! On a personal note, I was honoured to be elected the President of RUSU for another year and will continue to advocate for the rights of all students while ensuring that RUSU upholds its high standards. We’re looking forward to 2018 and working with the University to make sure the needs of students are always at the centre of decision making at RMIT.

  • 2021 Guide for International Students
    2021 Guide for International Students — What’s next... A message from the Vice-Chancellor Martin Bean At RMIT we focus on giving everyone the chance to be their best, shape their future and belong. That’s what our Ready for Life and Work strategy is all about and thanks to the passion of our extraordinary people we’re making it a reality. We exist to prepare our students for workplaces that are rapidly evolving and we play a part in shaping a changing world. It began in 1887 when Francis Ormond had a vision for helping workers acquire real-world skills. The people of Melbourne matched his enthusiasm to start a very practical place of learning where students would leave ready for employment. We still live this vision today – but now on a global scale. RMIT has been part of every new development in work and industry since our inception. As society and the economy have become more sophisticated and complex, RMIT has grown and changed alongside. Now, we’re a global university of design, technology and enterprise, with more than 93,000 students and 10,000 amazing teachers and staff who proudly live and breathe our purpose every day. We’re passionate about the communities we’re part of and we’re driven to make a purposeful contribution. We shape the world with our research and impactful partnerships with industry, government and enterprise. We provide life-changing experiences when we give our students their first, second or even third opportunity to prepare for the world of work they aspire to.
