IT IS OFFICIAL! 🎉

The USQ International Relations Student Association (USQIRSA) has rebranded and we are now known as the UniSQ United Nations Society (UniSQUNS)!

Why: The acronym USQ has been changed to UniSQ following the university acronym change earlier this year. We decided to change the International Relations Student Association to the United Nations Society following feedback we have consistently received this year regarding the name causing some confusion. We feel that United Nations Society more reflects our club's objectives and direction.

What this means: Our club's focus remains completely the same. We will continue to offer the same events, activities, and information (such as monthly newsletters, social events, etc).

We have changed our contact email to [email protected] so please be aware any contact from the club following this current email will be from the new address. Please shoot us an email if you have any questions or concerns.

Reminder 📣
Come join us for a relaxed, informal end-of-semester catch-up tomorrow at Jilly's Cafe Toowoomba.
