Wattle Fellowship Spotlight [Venue: St. Hilda's College]

The University of Melbourne invites you to the second of three events that showcase the learnings, development and impact of students involved in the Wattle Fellowship program. You will have the opportunity to learn about Wattle Fellowship, hear about Fellows’ journeys and projects, and connect over food and music. 

The Wattle Fellowship is the University of Melbourne’s flagship program with a mission to unlock the leadership the planet needs. Our vision is one where sustainability practices and principles are embedded into every social endeavour. Wattle Fellowship action projects are diverse and divergent, but all aim to create positive social and environmental outcomes. 

At this event, our fellows will share with you:

• What plants will survive and help you thrive in the face of climate change (Finnian Gregg-Rowan, Bachelor of Science)
• Filling the sustainability shaped knowledge gap in the world of classical/contemporary music (Oscar Tudge, Bachelor of Music)
• The importance of everyday actions in addressing climate change (Lily Collins, Master of Public Health)
• What happens when greenwashing doesn’t pass the pub test (Sam Lucas, Juris Doctor)
• The role of small-scale farmers in Melbourne’s food future (Cait Symon, Master of Ecosystem Management and Conservation)
• What’s being done to bridge the gap between urban and regional communities (Tushar Ramesh, Bachelor of Agriculture)
• Tackling wicked problems through active transport and urban greening (Crystal Tang, Bachelor of Design)

Please arrive at 6pm for a 6:15pm start where you will be hosted by MC and Wattle Fellowship Program Director Linh Do.
