MONSU aims to provide a common ground for all international and local students to share their insights, increase awareness of student rights, find out about services available and promote opportunities to join clubs and societies. The MONSU crew helps thousands of students through a number of weekly or annual events such as Beach Day, Cultural Carnival and many more. If you have any questions about how you can get international student support at Caulfield, feel free to contact me by emailing oss@monsu.org or find out more about MONSU events online.
