最新糖心Vlog

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has welcomed today鈥檚 announcement by the South 最新糖心Vlogn Government of a $13.8 million support package for international students in hardship because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Rathjen says the support package recognises the critical role that international students play in the community and to the State鈥檚 economy, including the cultural richness they have brought to Adelaide and the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

The State Government鈥檚 International Student Support Package includes a $10 million fund for international and pathway students impacted by COVID-19 at the state鈥檚 public universities.

鈥淲e thank the State Government for its commitment to South 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 international student community,鈥� says Professor Rathjen.

鈥淲e know that many of our international students right now are facing stress and hardship; they are isolated from their homes, their families, and their support networks. They may have lost their part-time jobs in 最新糖心Vlog, as well as some of their family support from overseas.

鈥淭his will be very welcome additional support for our students and reassurance for their families back home.鈥�

Professor Rathjen says the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide places a special value on its relationship with international students, alumni, and partners, and their role in connecting South 最新糖心Vlog to the rest of the world.

鈥淭he 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide was one of only eight universities in 最新糖心Vlog that participated in the Colombo Plan in the 1950s, welcoming students particularly from around South-East Asia. Many of those students went on to do great things: becoming leaders in their communities and around the world.

鈥淭his will be very welcome additional support for our students and reassurance for their families back home.鈥�Professor Peter Rathjen

鈥淥ur role as a globally connected university has grown even stronger since the 1950s. And today, again at a moment of need, we at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide have come together with the South 最新糖心Vlogn Government to support international students.

鈥淭his package makes it possible for international students to maintain their studies at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide 鈥� to get an education here, which they can take out into the world, which they can build upon to connect Adelaide and South 最新糖心Vlog with the rest of the world, and to ensure that the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, in the way that a great university should, is also connected with the world of ideas.鈥�

Today鈥檚 announcement complements the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Student Support Package, announced recently in partnership with the Adelaide 最新糖心Vlog Union (AUU). This support is available to all 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide students and focuses on students鈥� physical and mental wellbeing, and academic success, with targeted financial assistance for those in acute hardship.
