It’s fantastic to see our students and staff back on campus, as part of #UniMelbOrientation this week. Welcome back everyone @UniMelb
Melbourne's universities are finally buzzing again, as international and domestic students descend on campus for O Week. It's hoped their return will breathe life back into the city - and generate billions for Victoria. @reid_butler9 #9News

It’s a big week for #UniMelbOrientation. I spoke to Chip at @theage about what the return of international students means for @UniMelb

Shocked and saddened to hear of Brendan Sargeant's death. A genuinely incisive strategic thinker, a gentle soul, and a thoroughly good person.
