Events & Programs

Each semester, Student Linx organises a series of events and programs for Griffith students. 

Through a comprehensive program of activities we aim to:

• Make Griffith University a more enjoyable and inclusive place to study
• Facilitate meaningful interaction and lasting connections between students from all over the world
• Increase the opportunities for students from a non-English speaking background to improve their English through social interaction with native speakers
• Challenge tendencies towards inter-cultural indifference and exclusion
• Highlight that Griffith's cultural diversity can enrich the university experience for all students
• Provide opportunities for Griffith students to become more invested in the local communities of South-East Queensland
