Events and Culture
University is about more than going to classes. It’s also a chance to try new things, meet new people and become part of a community you can be proud of.
Get off to a good start
Your first week at university is one of the most important. We’ll make it memorable with a packed O-Week program across all our campuses.
As classes begin, you’ll also be supported by our Connect Mentors, who can answer all the questions that come up during the first few weeks.
Fill up your social calendar
Whether you’re interested in theatre and film, politics, sport, music, or learning other languages, chances are there’s a student club waiting for you to sign up.
La Trobe students also have access to arts hubs like the La Trobe University Museum of Art and Visual Arts Centre, and the chance to hear discussions on today’s critical issues through our Ideas and Society and Big FAT Ideas programs.
Be part of a diverse community
At La Trobe, we’re proud that our students come from such varied backgrounds. It’s the meeting of their different viewpoints that strengthens our university community as a whole.
Our Equality and Diversity Centre and Indigenous Education Group work hard to make sure we meet the needs of all our students. Along with student support, these offices also run annual events like Harmony Day, Sorry Day, NAIDOC Week and Pride Week.
