Podiatry Social Functions

The university experience is not all hard work - for over 20 years, podiatry students have worked to develop a number of social events to provide an outlet from academia.

Functions include:   

	Orientation Week ('O' Week)		This week comprises student tours of the University, (including the Union bar) and a breakfast and dinner to help induct new first year podiatrists into podiatry. A great way to break the ice and make new friends.
	Ironguts		Often held on St. Patrick's day, this event consists of a number of stations (eg. swallowing a raw egg or somersaulting 5 times) in teams comprising of year groups.
	The Podiatry Ball		The shining star of the podiatry social calendar. Often a black-tie function, with or without a theme. Not to be missed.
	Pod Follies		The post-exam casual function, at which in the past a number of bands have played that contain at least one podiatry student member.
	End-of-year and ski trips		Not much information is available about these, but Falls Creek and Merimbula/the Gold Coast are favourite destinations. The University owned Howqua lodge has also been visited a number of times.
