Thursday Mystery Treats (T.M.T) this week is for everyone!

Hint: It's not food so don't come hungry but if you miss out, you will be disappointed and possibly less snuggly on a winter's night.

To all our Muslim friends who are fasting throughout the month of Ramadan, we had you in mind when we decided on our treat this week and would like to extend a special invite to you.

See you at the MGA Clayton and Caulfield lounges this Thursday (22 April) from 12:30pm onwards. It's first come first serve so try and get in as soon as possible!

Congratulations to Dr Jagjit Plahe, Senior Lecturer from the Department of Management, on winning MGA’s 2020 Lecturer of the Year award!

Dr Jagjit Plahe initially had no idea that she had achieved such an admirable feat, and was absolutely delighted to hear the words of the two students who had nominated her for MGA 2020 Lecturer of the Year who said, “that she [had] encouraged [them] to be proud of where [they] came from, celebrate individuality, and to utilise [their] experience to become a better person.” Her strong commitment towards global justice and sustainability and her passionate teaching style is admired among her students.

The MGA Lecturer of the Year award was created to acknowledge and celebrate excellence in graduate teaching and has been presented annually since 2012, with teachers nominated by their students.

Calls for nominations for MGA’s 2021 Lecturer of the Year will be announced shortly. Keep updated with the MGA on Facebook and Instagram (@monash.graduate.association) to find out when!

We're now taking bookings for our Caulfield free lunch!

1:00pm to 2:00pm
MGA Graduate Lounge (Level 2, Building C), Caulfield campus.

If you’re a Masters by Coursework student, you’re no stranger to assessment tasks. Usually, you have one chance to complete each assessment task. However, what happens when exceptional circumstances out of your control cause you to not complete an assessment? You can apply for special consideration. If granted, you may be given an extension, another assessment, or a deferred final assessment.

Want some help asking for special consideration? Unsure how to proceed once an outcome’s been made? Our MGA Advocates are here to support you all the way.

Book an appointment with an MGA advocate ➡️ https://mga.monash.edu.au/get-help/advocacy/ or email us at MGA-advocacy@monash.edu
