Untitled - Saturday, 4 May 2002 Untitled - Thursday, 7 February 2002 Throughout the holidays leading up to the start of semester, we've received tons of emails. Some meant for us, some unintended. Your emails would have either been answered or forwarded to the International Office (from the University). If not, we're probably onto it. A reminder to those sending us email: Questions about formal application procedures, course requirements etc. should be sent to iso@ecu.edu.au. ECUISC is a student representative organisation, so we don't handle administrative matters of the university. Now that we've cleared that up, we'd just like to welcome the new students to ECU in 2002, and to our returning international students, we hope you've had a great holiday, welcome back! Untitled - Friday, 19 October 2001 Remember, if you're interested, send us an email now! :) Untitled - Wednesday, 3 October 2001 Well, afterall, it is the assignment season here at ECU and everyone is pretty busy. However, take heart, we are still trying to organise a couple of other small trips - a Cave & Canoe bushtucker tour and a Bigfoot tour (you know, the one where you surf down sand dunes?). Preliminary planning is done, we do need volunteers to run the event however. If you think you can afford to spend one Saturday of your time, drop us an email at ecuisc@ecu.edu.au. In other news, nominations will open soon for positions on the ECUISC Secretariat. Take a look at what positions are on the Secretariat in the about us - people section. Send us an email if you're interested in a position on the ISC. The Annual General Meeting is just around the corner, so don't hesitate.
Untitled - Thursday, 13 September 2001 Being Multicultural Week, we also wish to remind everyone to be understanding of the differences we have in cultures, and to better appreciate our lives and the loved ones we have, and not succumb to any premature reactions or accusatory hype. We also note that there have been reports in Australia of attacks against the Muslim community, and we wish to remind all international students to take their personal safety seriously. Use campus security if you need to, they're there for you. Once again, we offer our united sympathy and support in this trying time to the international student community here at ECU.
Untitled - Friday, 31 August 2001 Anyway, we had an International & Exchange Student Gathering at Mount Lawley Student Housing two weeks ago. The turnout was good and I'm sure everyone who attended will agree - the food better! However, logistical requirements and the lack of support up at Joondalup will not see us repeating it there, not this semester anyway. The pictures for the gathering will be out soon, as will other pictures. Isn't this website drab and dreary without pictures? We'll try to make this site nicer, but we're also redesigning the site for the official launch during the Annual General Meeting on 12th of October. Multicultural Day @ ECU It's in the gazebo area in front of the Student Guild. Here's what you can expect: - Food will cost no more than $5 per stall. So, drop by, have lunch, watch some cultural performances and enjoy your Wednesday. The event is FREE and is for everyone - students, staff, the general public. It is our contribution to the Western Australia Multicultural Week 2001 Celebrations. See you there Untitled - Wednesday, 1 August 2001 Venue: Dome Cafe, Northbridge, Perth (cnr of Lake St and James St) We're opening this meeting up to all students (int'l and non) who are interested in actively participating in the ISC - organising activities, events etc. This is one step more involved than just attending our events and believe me, it's worth it! :) The friends you make, the things you learn, the incentives you get. Also, we've been asked kindly by the people down at the library to inform you about this. You'll know about our stand on the library hours (you don't? go to the news page and read it), as well as what the Guild has to say about it on the bulletin board. Point to note though. The hours are still being monitored, so if we want our library to keep those hours and perhaps extend it, we've to start using the library more regularly.

Untitled - Sunday, 15th July 2001 Just a note for people who come to this site thinking we're speaking for the University - we aren't. We're international students representing international students. We'll try to make this clearer as we go through the contents of the site. If you want to speak to the University, the people you want will be at ECU International. Check out the links section for access to their website. If you email us, and we can't answer it, we'll redirect it to them of course (so it's not going to get lost). We're still working on getting the news scripts up. It's quite troublesome as we have to email the scripts to the uni web administrator before they are installed, so we're trying to find alternate solutions. Sorry for the inconvenience. By the way, the next meeting of the ECUISC will be held 2 weekends after uni reopens. You will be informed on the bulletin board and via the mailing list. This is a special meeting as we'll be welcoming new students on board who are interested in finding out what we do and wish to play a part in the organisation. More details to come next week.
Untitled - Friday, 18th May 2001 We're also working on some projects for Orientation 2, 2001. So, watch this space for more news when they become available. Exams are around the corner and everyone is busy with assignments, so best wishes to all. To the new students coming to ECU next semester, we're looking forward to meeting you. If you've any questions or feedback, just post it on the bulletin board. We'll answer them there, or you can email us directly at ecuisc@ecu.edu.au. Untitled - Tuesday, 10th April 2001 Further to this, the Student Guild is getting their website up and running, and Virtual Campus is undergoing major reworks, so we're seeing how the bulletin board will fit into our dissemination of information to you. The events page in the about section is also updated. If you'd like to volunteer your time to assist ECUISC in anyway, please contact us Cut in Library Hours (update) - Mon, 19 Mar 2001 The rationale behind the change is in part a decline in funding provided to Australian Universities as well as increases in technology and infrastructure costs. Over 20% of the library allocation is expended toward the collection and expansion of library resources, and trends from the student service centre indicate that there is a preference toward online resources. The implementation of online material and duplication of information from digital form to paper form has proved more costly for the university. The challenge for the university is to determine how to allocate and utilise its current resources most effectively. While the university appreciates that there is a sense of frustration, as there appears to be a decline in the level of services offered, significant progress has been made on extending online and off-campus services in recent years. Use of online databases has doubled in the past two years. In addition, the university participates in inter-library lending activities and is implementing a project to enable the electronic passing of information between participating libraries.
Cut in Library Hours - Mon, 19 Mar 2001
All your base... - Mon, 19 Mar 2001 All your base are belong to us is a meme - not just any meme, it's currently the hottest one around. A meme (pronounced meem) as coined by Richard Dawkins,in his book The Selfish Gene is defined as "simply a unit of intellectual or cultural information that survives long enough to be recognized as such, and which can pass from mind to mind." To put it another way, it's an information pattern that replicates by altering changes in people's behaviour causing them to propagate the pattern. Remember the Whassup? ads by Budweiser? Remember the dancing baby? Remember the infectious hamster tune? Need I go on? All this brings us to the question, why? Well, ECUISC needed an attention grabbing headline for one. We wanted one that would spark off your curiosity and to get you to come to this website - the one that serves you. Now that you're here, how about taking a look around and giving us your feedback? Oh, and if you want to find out more about the meme, just search the web for All your base are belong to us. :-) [Go]
