La Trobe International Relations Association

LIRA would like to welcome all of its members back to another promising and busy year at La Trobe Uni! We trust you are all refreshed (or exhausted) from any vacations across Australia and the world, ready for another year of study, drinks at the Eagle, and enjoying and getting involved in LIRA’s many activities! We had a busy year last year with Tim Costello’s careers lecture, the AIIA careers conference, the 25 LIRA members travelling to Brisbane for AMUNC 2009, Trivia nights, and the annual LIRA Politics and International Relations Dinner. The LIRA executive is working hard at continuing and expanding the program of social and academic activities available to its members in 2010. We look forward to talking about what is coming up and what you want o see at theLIRA welcome back BBQ on Thursday at noon on the Simpson Lawn. And remember, LIRA is a wholly student run organisation, for the benefits of students, so remember to ask us about how to get involved, gaining the experience, friends, and networks that come from getting involved with LIRA. Elections will be held at the beginning of 2nd Semester, so it is easy to take a leading role in your association straight away. We look forward to meeting our new members and catching up with old members. Welcome to 2010 at La Trobe!
-Greg Healy, LIRA President
