Campus Life Online: Top Events to Check Out

By Jossie Warnant 

Whilst we’re all stuck at home it’s super important to stay connected with campus life. Luckily, USyd’s clubs and societies have transitioned lots of their events online. This means that you can improve your French, hone your media and marketing skills and keep up your fitness routine all from home! Here are Pulp’s top picks for online club and society events. 

Frenchsoc Zoom Conversations 
Each week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12pm - 1pm USyd’s French Society hosts Zoom conversation groups. The Zoom sessions are a chance to work on French conversation skills whilst meeting new people. The conversation groups even feature breakout rooms so that beginners can practice their French grammar and boost their language skills.
