What you need to know
|
ITS notifications
ANU is a team player but Microsoft wasn’t playing ball on Friday. MS Teams and other MS services were down in a global outage, impacting ANU as well.
Did you know the ANU Service Desk will give you a heads up if something is wrong? Unless the network is down and we can’t access ANU webpages, ANU Service Desk will have a notification banner on their homepage alerting you to the issue. You can also log a job if you think there’s an issue with an ANU system. Check it out.
Sometimes, for example if an outage affects the ANU network, we may notify you via ANUOK so remember to download the app and make sure notifications are turned on. This will be one of our quickest ways to alert you even when other ANU systems are having problems – we use this channel for other critical and urgent campus notifications too. |

Student and Safety Wellbeing latest updates
|
We’ve released the full action plan today. Since the release of the Student and Safety Wellbeing Plan in March, ANU has consulted with over 200 stakeholders, including students, to gather feedback and input for the full action plan. Read the full plan.
Starting tomorrow, ANU will trial the Residential Community Safety Officer pilot program across six Residences for now. The Officers will work in pairs and provide additional safety and support to residential students between 6pm and 6am, Wednesday to Saturday. The program will be assessed over the semester and may be expanded to all residences on campus in 2023.
The majority of new Residential students have completed our Enlivening Consent program – over 91% of the student evaluation feedback indicates they would recommend the program.
ANU Council will open EOIs for three student representatives for the new Student Safety and Wellbeing Committee. Keep an eye out if you want to put your hand up. It’s another great way for you to provide input into how we deliver on our plan and student services.
The Student and Safety Wellbeing Team and the Respectful Relationships Unit will be involved in the planned day of student advocacy on 1 August and provide support to students as usual. |

Dish on what we should add to our smorgasbord of Aussie food terms
|
Do you add chicken salt to your parmy or schnitty? Do you go for a halal snack pack (HSP) or servo food after a night out? Perhaps you prefer bumnuts to smashed avo on toast.
If you love your Aussie food, word boffins from the Australian National Dictionary Centre (ANDC) want to hear from you. ANDC is looking for new contributions for The Australian National Dictionary, with a focus on food-related words and phrases.
You can share your food terms via the ANDC Word Box feature or through the ANDC contact page. |

A window to our past
|
The John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) was created in 1948, two years after the establishment of ANU.
The School was founded in 1948 as a result of the vision of Nobel Laureate Sir Howard Florey and was named in honour of former Prime Minister John Curtin.
Core research areas for the JCSMR include immunology, cancer, genomics, neuroscience, infectious diseases and metabolic disorders.
