Congratulations to @arcunsw, winners of Best Event or Activity at the Student Experience Network Awards 2025 for their standout event, HobbyCon.

Inspired by major pop culture conventions like SMASH! and Supanova, HobbyCon transformed the UNSW Roundhouse into a vibrant creative expo celebrating hobby and special interest clubs.

Bringing together over 3,000 students, the event featured 30 clubs, 30 student artists, live performances, arcade games, and an epic cosplay competition. From esports-style League of Legends matches to immersive VR experiences and hands-on access to the newly released Nintendo Switch 2, HobbyCon delivered something for everyone.

A standout feature was the Artist Alley, where students could showcase and sell their creative work in a supportive, accessible environment. By removing traditional cost barriers, the initiative empowered emerging artists to build confidence, develop their craft, and take the next step in their creative journeys.

At its core, HobbyCon was about connection. By co-designing the event with students and clubs, Arc created a space where niche communities could thrive, discover new audiences, and foster a strong sense of belonging on campus.

Could your event be the next to take the spotlight?
The Best Event or Activity category in the Student Experience Network Awards 2026 celebrates creative, engaging experiences that bring campus communities to life. Whether it’s a large-scale festival, a niche activation, or something entirely new, we want to see how your team is creating memorable moments for students.

If you’ve delivered an event that’s made an impact, now is the time to enter and showcase your success.

In this episode of SEN Insights, we’re joined by Jessica Brown, CEO of the @gugcstudentguild and outgoing Board Chair of the Student Experience Network, for a conversation on leadership, governance, and student voice.

Jess shares her journey from student to CEO, reflects on the Guild’s shift to a hybrid governance model, and discusses how organisations can balance strong governance with authentic student representation.

We also dive into her experience as SEN Board Chair, including the value of sector collaboration, what she’s learned through the role, and why it’s an opportunity others should consider.

Plus, we explore the importance of clubs, connection, and belonging on campus, and why creating meaningful student experiences remains at the heart of everything we do.

Congratulations to Activate UTS, winners of Best Food & Beverage Initiative at the Student Experience Network Awards 2025 for their $5.50 student lunch program at The Terrace Café.

Launched in response to growing cost-of-living pressures facing students, the initiative set out to provide high-quality, nutritious meals at an affordable price without compromising on taste, convenience, or dignity. The program began in October 2024 with a goal of serving around 50 subsidised meals each day.

Located in the heart of campus life, The Terrace café was the ideal setting for the initiative. The program not only helped address food insecurity but also strengthened the café’s role as a vibrant student hub. Since launch, the initiative has delivered over 8000 meals to students, providing practical support while encouraging connection and community on campus.

Could your campus be home to the next standout food and beverage initiative?
The Best Food & Beverage Initiative category in the Student Experience Network Awards 2026 celebrates innovative programs that enhance campus dining while responding to the evolving needs of students. From affordable meal programs to creative hospitality concepts, we want to see how your organisation is making a difference through food and beverage.

If your team has launched an initiative that’s supporting students and strengthening campus life, now is the time to enter!

#StudentExperienceNetwork #NewMember
Today is University Mental Health Day, a UK initia Today is University Mental Health Day, a UK initiative that highlights the importance of student mental health across university communities.

This year’s theme — Human Connection — reminds us of something we see every day across our member campuses: students thrive when they feel connected, understood and supported.

Connection doesn’t only matter during study. It also matters during the transitions around it — particularly the move from university into placements and graduate employment, when many of the support networks students rely on begin to shift or disappear.

Strengthening connection across these transition points is essential if we want student wellbeing support to extend beyond the campus boundary.

At the Student Experience Network, we see the power of connection through the work of our members every day — building communities, creating inclusive spaces and helping students feel like they truly belong.

It’s also why the theme of SENCON 2026 is BELONG — because fostering connection is at the heart of meaningful student experiences and thriving campus communities.
