Cultural Clubs and Societies Director - Roaul D'Cruz

My name is Raoul D'Cruz, and I am the Cultural clubs and Societies director on BUSA.

The best part of this job is that I get to meet some of the most random representations at Bond..from the ACES boys to the Casual gaming society, there is a lot to love about having a pretty tight uni community -and I encourage all the new students to get involved the social/cultural action that Bond has to offer-the people you will meet and the experiences you will have are "hands down" the best that an Australian Uni has to offer (massive statement- but it is true).

The Cultural Clubs and Societies portfolio oversees and facilitates the start-up of clubs and societies at Bond University, as well as assisting these clubs in their day to day operations. In addition to this the CC & S director organises club sign on day, and the 'Executive Drinks' evening which is held to reward those outstanding clubs and societies who have made an impact at Bond University, as well as their hardworking members.

Whether it is a bungee jumping society or simply a chess club, you can turn your dream club into a real club by contacting me at radcruz@student.bond.edu.au.

Hope to see you all at Dons, Palaver, or maybe at the next BUMS concert!
