Bachelor of Nursing

I have been on the Online SRC since I started my nursing course this year.   I am the first nations officer and am passionate about culture and bringing vibrancy to the online learning space through academic vouchers, kahoots, prizes and scholarships.

Elected in 2024

Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology)

I wish to be part of the Student Representative Council (SRC) because I am passionate about advocating for student needs and enhancing our university experience. As a committed and approachable individual, I believe in the power of collective voices to drive positive change. Being on the SRC will allow me to represent my peers effectively, ensuring their concerns and suggestions are heard by the administration. I am dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive campus environment, organizing meaningful events, and improving student services. My strong communication and leadership skills, coupled with a genuine desire to make a difference, will enable me to contribute significantly to the SRC. Together, we can work towards creating a university where every student feels valued, heard, and empowered to succeed.

Undergraduate Certificate in Creative Writing

Hello everyone, my name is Dylan Piper and I am nominating myself to be a part of the SRC because I want to help us connect as a community online and create a space for us to communicate, share and enjoy fun online activities such as game nights and trivia. I am a new Uni Student just starting on the 14th July 2025, but don't let that discourage you from voting for me as I am ambitious, a great listener and more importantly a person of action. A good example is the creation of a new discord server to replace the old server which was overrun by bots and scammers. With your vote, I look forward to making our online university experience enjoyable and all-inclusive. Please feel free to join the unofficial CSU Social Club Discord server now! Server Invite Code: uk3TyT4ZMD (I aim to register it soon through CSU)

Elected in 2025

Bachelor of Laws

As a mature student coming back to study Law after a diverse career in banking, gold mining, agriculture and tourism, both overseas and in Australia, I feel I have plenty to offer the SRC. I currently run an equities investment fund focused on agriculture & am engaged in primary production in the Illawarra. My background spans over 25 years in leadership roles across investment banking, agribusiness & corporate governance including at global investment banks Lehman Brothers, UBS Japan & Societe Generale, and as Executive Chairman of an ASX-listed gold mining company for a decade. This combination of regional and international corporate experience gives me a unique perspective on both local and global issues. I am in 4th Year Law & passionate about strengthening engagement between regional and metropolitan students, and ensuring diverse voices are heard in decision-making. I will contribute strategic thinking, advocacy skills, and real-world experience to the SRC.

Bachelor of Arts (writing and publications)

I believe in inclusion, fair representation and diversity of opinion. The online student body has gone through a lot in my time at the University, and I wish to give everybody an equal go at whatever qualification they seek to strive for. I will advocate for mental health allowances, disability provisions, LGBTQIA+ issues and equality of opportunity for all. Together, we can make CSU a more accepting and inclusive space for everybody regardless of their ability.
