The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

You are reading: My Story — Student Voice Video Blog: Monica Dinh

Second-year medical science student Monica Dinh didn’t expect to be sharing her university classes with her mum, the vacuum cleaner, and two younger sisters. So far, most of Monica’s work has consisted of conducting experiments and using those results to answer questions. Due to COVID-19, Monica now has to adapt to the challenges of a virtual classroom, shared with her family.

Monica will share her experiences as a university student and U@Uni Ambassador to ensure others know they are not alone and that we can continue working together to overcome this stressful time.

Monica is one of eight individuals invited by the NCSEHE to share their challenges and celebrate their triumphs during, and beyond, the COVID-19 pandemic through a series of Student Voice video blogs.

 

If you would like to ask Monica any questions, or suggest further topics you would like to hear about, we encourage you to get in touch at ncsehe@curtin.edu.au.
