ACCOMMODATION SERVICES GALA DINNER AWARD NOMINATIONS

Accommodation Services loves to celebrate the achievements of our residents, and since 2006, selected high achievers, community minded students, scholarship recipients, student leaders and La Trobe staff have been invited to attend and enjoy our Annual Gala Dinner. The Gala, held on site in the Union Hall, brings together students and staff from both Bundoora and Bendigo, and is one of the rare opportunities in the University calendar for students and staff to celebrate together. On the night, a number of prestigious awards are presented to academic high achievers and those who have made significant contributions to the residential community. In 2016, as was the case in 2016, Accommodation Services is seeking nominations from students, student leaders and staff for this years’ community contribution awards. Up to eight awards in total will be awarded across both campuses. If you would like to nominate a resident, please log on to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GalaAwardNomination and complete the nomination form.
