🎓Connecting study, careers and community at Lincoln🎓
Last week, 90 students, alumni, academics and health professionals came together for Lincoln College's Health Professions, Health Sciences & Psychology Mixer.
Guests represented a wide range of disciplines across health and psychology, including academics from Adelaide University and Flinders University, alongside practising professionals and Lincoln alumni.
Our Faculty Mixers are deliberately designed to help students build the networks and professional skills that complement their university education. Through structured, small-group conversations, students across all year levels had the opportunity to connect with people in their fields, explore different career pathways and practise the skills involved in building professional relationships.
For our later-year students, those conversations can help bridge the transition from study to employment — creating connections that may lead to mentoring, placements, work experience and future career opportunities.
For our first-year students, the value is different but just as important. Hearing from academics, alumni and professionals early in their degree helps them understand where their studies might take them, discover career possibilities they may not yet have considered, and start developing the confidence and professional skills they will need along the way.
The impact goes both ways. Our Mixers reconnect alumni with Lincoln, strengthen our relationships with universities and industry, and give professionals an opportunity to support the next generation entering their fields.
At Lincoln, academic success matters — but so does being ready to make the most of what comes next.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their time, experience and expertise.
Lincoln alumni working in health or psychology — we'd love to have you involved in future events.
