Alongside experiencing unparalleled levels of fun, UOWx helped me: to tap into my leadership and people skills through club activities, volunteering, and mentorship programs; improve my cultural, climate, and sustainability awareness; embrace and take pride in our diversity; and to always innovate. The networking and life lessons from this journey ultimately paid off with multiple lucrative career offers as I graduate now. What more could I ask for!!
