G'day, I'm Mitch (He/Him), your 2023 Postgraduate Students Committee President and an HDR candidate researching dry mineral processing in the WA School of Mines: Minerals, Energy and Chemical Engineering and I completed my undergrad degree here at Curtin as well. I am committed to representing all postgrad students vigorously for the coming year. I hope that I can leave the postgrad experience at Curtin better when I finish as PSC President than when I started.
Some of my main goals for the upcoming year are:
- Improve engagement with postgrads through events and spending time with students.
- Surveying the postgraduate students and candidates to find out what matters most to students and make sure the PSC is targeting its resources in the best places.
- Improving and consolidating HDR forms, policies and procedures into one place and making things consistent and simpler for students.
- Ensuring that research candidates are recognised as junior academics and treated with the respect they deserve.
- Making the experience of studying at Curtin better for all students.
- Bringing more Cricket to campus.
If you have any queries throughout the year, feel free to reach out via email to [email protected]
I wish you all a safe and enjoyable holiday period and I look forward to seeing more of all of you in the New Year!
