Â鶹ÊÓƵ

From playing a key role in welcoming students each year to helping with high-profile events on campus, Rosie McGee enjoys those opportunities to tap into many different aspects of her role. We chatted with Rosie about following Florence & The Machine across the continents, the student journey, and more!

What do you like about your role in the Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) community?

I love the variety of my role because no two days are the same for me. I appreciate that my role supports many student events on and off campus. It’s inspiring to see cross-department collaboration and different members of the community come together to support students. Last year, we had a new opportunity to host the Native Education College at Â鶹ÊÓƵ for their annual graduation ceremony. I feel grateful to be able to work with our wider external community, too.

What’s something you wish people understood about student services that fascinates you?

I want people to understand how much behind-the-scenes work is involved and how much careful consideration goes into everything. Student Services are involved in the entire student journey: from prospective students attending one of our weekly campus tours to them liaising with our admissions team when processing their application. Once someone is an Â鶹ÊÓƵ student, they receive support from our advisors, international team, and career development team (and many more!). At Â鶹ÊÓƵ, Student Services also plans and organizes the annual graduation ceremony. It is a real honour for me to be part of such a full-circle journey.

What are you most looking forward to as Â鶹ÊÓƵ turns 100?

As someone who loves a party, I’m excited to see how the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community will celebrate this huge milestone. I’m still relatively new to Â鶹ÊÓƵ; I feel this celebration is a good opportunity to bring the community together to learn more about our history and journey.

What’s one unexpected thing that people might not know about you?

I’m a huge Florence & the Machine f
