I’m Colette, currently in my second-year of Bachelor of Psychology. I am FPSA’s Director of Sponsorship for 2024.I first joined FPSA in 2023 as an Activities Coordinator, when I helped putting together the FPSA annual Ball, the Mixer and the Seminar Series for First Year students. I also worked on our first ever podcast with an amazing Psychology lecturer, coming out jolly soon (please stay tuned for the podcast premier!).I love being a part of FPSA because of the amazing community that we build here, where students from different year levels and all walks of life gather together to build something from our common experience of being Flinders psychology students. My vision this year is to expand FPSA’s supportive inclusive community and increase our presence on campus through social events, because I believe our university experience as students will greatly improved if we feel more connected to our peers, our lecturers and our universities.My favourite part about studying psychology is reading brain-twisting journal articles and finding out about all the exciting research and actions in the field. Outside of work and studies, I enjoy exploring cool restaurants and cafes, op-shopping and endless yapping sessions with my friends. Dylan Hopkins Hi, I’m Dylan.
