Arwen has enjoyed all aspects of university life, and a particularly rewarding experience was being selected as the Convenor for Male Rowers at Union College - which saw them manage the training and race schedules for five different crews and become an accredited coach.

Additionally, Arwen has participated in the UQ Law Society’s Mooting and Negotiations competitions, volunteered as Assistant Stage Manager for the UQ Law Revue, performed in the Union College One Act Play, and completed the UQ Ventures Validate Program for Entrepreneurship. This year, alongside their current extra-curricular and sporting commitments, Arwen is excited to write for the UQ Law Society’s comedy satire magazine, The Obiter, and begin work as an assistant at a mediation firm.
