Dookie Student Association
The Dookie Student Association (DSA) is an umbrella organisation run by elected student representatives who make up the Committee of Management and a Chief Executive Officer. The DSA is funded by the Services and Amenities Fee (SAF), paid by all University of Melbourne students. The DSA provides a wide range of student interest, sport and recreation clubs which all students at Dookie can participate in. The DSA ensures that every opportunity is made to make student life at Dookie as enjoyable as possible. The DSA encourages students to get involved in student development and leadership activities through election to committee positions within clubs and the DSA itself and through participation in social and sporting events. The DSA also provides a range of support services (academic, financial and personal).
Students enrolled at Dookie Campus can also use the student union facilities of all the other campuses of the University of Melbourne, including those at Parkville Campus and the Mt Buller Alpine Lodge . For more information see Melbourne University Sports .
The DSA has its own offices and is located within the Gavin Gibson Building where there is a student lounge area with TV, video, fridge, microwave, lockers, free tea and coffee, notice boards and vending machines. The DSA's office is the administrative centre of the Association and also provides students with use of a photocopier, fax machine, guillotine, heat binding machine, laminator and a phone.
The DSA organises a whole range of social activities each semester. Some of these are regular events, such as film nights, and others are major events such as Orientation Week for first year students, the annual Commencement Ball, and 'Dustraisers' the famous B&S Ball charity event.
