4:30pm – 7:00pm La Trobe University Wodonga Campus

Last year, many of our U3A members attended this event. It was very successful. The students, who are preparing for their professional lives, really appreciated the networking conversations with our knowledgeable members. The pizzas and drinks were yummy. You may feel you can only come to the networking component from 5.45pm to 7pm. Many of the U3A committee members will be attending.

Members of U3A Albury Wodonga are invited to attend Mocktails and Mingle, a lively and thought-provoking evening co-designed by La Trobe University and Ovens Murray Public Health Unit to support the professional development of local students as they prepare to enter the local workforce.

The event begins with a fun, improv-style theatre performance called So Glad to See You that explores the real-world challenges of working with people in complex or vulnerable situations. Local actors will dive into unscripted scenarios, followed by expert commentary from a panel of professionals working at the front line of mental health, education, and support. Following the performance will be a relaxed networking session with students from both La Trobe and Wodonga TAFE, catered by Red Gum Pizza and featuring mocktails from Red Elk Beverage Co.

Your attendance at this event is deeply valuable for student development and offers a significant opportunity for them to connect with and learn from our local industry leaders.
