As we wrap up a memorable year of milestones, we’d love the opportunity to peek into the UniSA world from your point of view.

Help us create a highlight reel of your student life at UniSA by sending a short video of your uni moments. It may be a footage of you pulling an all-nighter in the library, Getting Wanderlost, hanging out with friends, dancing, or playing sports. Tell us your stories, through video, about what it feels like to be a UniSA student, and we’ll share your perspectives with the rest of the student community!

Quick guidelines:
• Your video should be no more than one minute in length.
• Vertical videos shot on mobile phones will look best. However, other formats are more than welcome!
• The content can be anything from TikTok dancing on campus to student life events. No inappropriate or offensive footage please.
• Be authentic, be playful, be bold.

Submit your footage by Sunday 10 December.
SEND US YOUR VIDEO
*POV (point of view) is often used in videos or as a hashtag to indicate that the video is meant to be watched as if the viewer were present or the viewer is in a specific situation.
