PRESIDENT’S PR ESIDENT’S

Hey Flinders!

Congratulations all - you’ve made it through the year 2021! My name is Molly, I’m your Student President for 2022 :) A little bit about myself… I’ve been on Student Council for three years, as First Nations Students Officer and then General Secretary, which has given me the tools and skills for this new role.
