Why you should join a student club committee in 2025!
Did you know that one of the best ways to immerse yourself into university life is by joining a student club committee? Here’s why.
Build new connections and community
Being part of a committee is a great way to meet people and build a support network fast, especially if you’re a new student to Australia. Working closely with other committee members may spark lasting friendships, and being part of a club introduces you to students who share your interests. This sense of belonging can make a huge difference when you’re far from home!
Develop your leadership and teamwork skills
Being part of a committee can give you valuable leadership and teamwork experience! Whether you’re planning events, managing finances or promoting club activities, you’ll learn skills that boost your resume and prepare you for your future career. Employers value candidates who can collaborate, organise and take initiative—skills you’ll gain as a committee member.
Its the perfect space for sharing your culture, and learning about others!
As an international student, you have a wide range of unique perspectives to share. Sharing your culture with others while learning about theirs, fosters mutual understanding and can enrich the club experience for everyone.
It’s a great way to boost your confidence
Taking on responsibilities within a committee can push you out of your comfort zone in the best way. Leading meetings, speaking in front of groups or coordinating big events can help you grow personally and professionally, giving you confidence in your abilities.
So as we head into the new year, why not take on a leadership role in a student club in 2025!
