Alumni Communications Hello Summer

Well, Hello Summer!

Dear Flinders Students

What an interesting and challenging year it’s been! The good thing is summer is now here and there are so many amazing things to see and do in Adelaide and South Australia during your study break.

We asked Flinders University graduates from around the world to send in their favourite FREE (or low cost) activities and locations across SA for you to enjoy.

See below for the highlights.

Hot days, warm nights, beach swims and ice cream on the daily…
We hope you have a great summer in SA!

Best wishes,

The Alumni Relations team
alumni@flinders.edu.au

P.S. Don’t forget to keep checking CareerHub over the summer as we’ve also asked our alumni to share any volunteer roles or paid work opportunities to help you develop professional skills over the summer break.
