Welcome Scapegoatians (yes, it’s not a word…until now)! The 2016 university semester has once again started up with a fantastic boom from Orientation and a less fantastic realisation that we have to wake up at normal times like normal people again – ugh.

We’d like to welcome all our new readers and subscribers, and hope you enjoy our content. If you haven’t already – subscribe to our weekly mail out in order to get the up-to-date notification of free food and exciting events happening at Monash. 

For both new and returning students, now is a perfect time to get (re)acquainted with all the programs and extra services available to students studying science. Take a look at all the academic help that is available to you here. It’s always a good idea to get into a good study habit early on!

You may also have come across our new design at thescapegoat.com and had also glimpsed a few printed tabloid-style newspapers…Exciting things are coming along, so keep your eyes peeled!

Grad season is upon us. People are suiting up left, right and centre; careers expos cramming the calendar and students are frantically planning their career.

Fear not, though – there are resources to help.
