Hello UniMelb fam! In our eNews this week, we go

Hello UniMelb fam!

In our eNews this week, we got some wires tangled in the Comms brains trust and the wrong messaging has ended up in our eNews introduction! It is indeed mid-semester break THIS WEEK, 20-26 September, (yay) and NOT Week 9 as our banner and intro text would suggest. We are sorry for any confusion or anxiety this might have caused.

We will also be placing a correction into this week's eNews edition.

Stay safe, everyone!
UMSU Comms Team
