SBMS SASS (Student Academic and Social Society)

Overview

SASS (Student Academic and Social Society) is the student committee within SBMS. We organise social and career development events for HDR students within the school. We aim to provide career development workshops and seminars to help with the transition from an HDR student to postdoc. We also organise social events to encourage engagement with other students within the school. These events include Trivia nights, Barefoot bowls, Wine and Cheese nights, and the annual End of Year Awards Nights at Customs House.

Join us! We are constantly seeking new members to join SASS, whether you’re an Honours, Masters or PhD student. Feel free to send us an email or chat to any one of the friendly SASS members at one of our events for more information.
