Boarding 

Old Collegian Dr Matthew Mackenzie presented to the boarders last week. His presentation focused on his years as a boarder from 1988 until 1991. He shared stories of his life as a boarder as well as his transition to Queen's College in Melbourne. As a representative of Deakin, (Matthew currently lectures at Deakin), he also spoke of the university’s innovative approaches to research and the benefits for college students seeking to study at Deakin. Matthew had a tour of the boarding house and enjoyed the opportunity to reminisce. He was notably impressed with the new boarding facilities and the attentive approach to student welfare at both Speirs and MacDonald Houses.
