After spending more than 10 years supporting students with visual impairments in Taiwan, Jessica travelled to Australia to experience how another country approaches inclusive education.

As a visually impaired student herself, she began her journey at Flinders University Academy, completing the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program before progressing into a Master of Individual and Specialised Education at Flinders University.

What she experienced went beyond academic preparation. From Academy staff taking the time to learn how to best support her before she even arrived on campus, to receiving a graduation certificate in Braille, it was the thoughtful moments that made all the difference.

"It wasn't really about the braille itself... It was knowing that they truly saw me, and made the effort because they understood what I needed."

Taking Off-Campus learning to a whole new level 🏒⛸️

Flinders Sports Management students are working with Adelaide Adrenaline Ice Hockey Club - SA’s professional ice hockey team, to develop marketing initiatives in response to a real-world industry brief.

Students visited the IceArenA for a briefing with Adelaide Adrenaline General Manager Jamie, followed by an on-ice experience designed to immerse them in the sport, its environment and audiences.

The experience allowed students to connect directly with industry, build practical skills and apply their learning to a live marketing challenge. 🙌
