LIVE cocktail party!

Last week, the Melbourne Uni Leadership, Involvement and Volunteer Experience Uni threw and awesome cocktail party for students involved with various organisations around campus, and anyone who was interested in volunteering, to network and find out more about the opportunities available.

A speed-dating-type game got us all talking, albeit awkwardly at first, and free flowing beer, wine and bubbly removed (almost) all the awkwardness by the time the dancing started. We were also entertained by a fantastic hip-hop dance duo.

Various organisations had set up stalls with representatives ready to give us all the information we might need to get involved, whether it be travelling to Africa or undertaking sustainability projects closer to home. There were also inspiring presentations about past and future projects that had us wishing there were more than 24 hours in a day so we could try everything.

It was an altogether fun night and a great reminder that there is so much on offer at Melbourne Uni in terms of organisations wanting to make a positive change in the world. We would highly encourage everyone to attend next year and get involved!
