"Hello! My name is Hoang Minh (or Mike!), and I’m excited to be a part of MONSU in 2025. This year, I’m joining as a First Year Officer, and I’m thrilled to contribute to making Monash University a more engaging and inclusive place for all students. I decided to join MONSU because I wanted to become an active part of the student community and help represent the voices of my peers, ensuring everyone feels supported and heard.

I’m passionate about sports and music. When I’m not studying, you can find me at the gym or playing basketball, badminton, futsal, or table tennis.  I also have a love for music and play a variety of instruments, including the piano, flute, trumpet and a surprising amount more! I’ve always loved volunteering and socializing with new people. I imagine a vibrant community of students sharing life experiences and embracing the opportunities that globalization brings. Participating in university social activities, like cultural events, sports, or even spinning the lottery wheel for merch, has been a fantastic way to connect with others. It’s these experiences that have motivated me to join MONSU, as I want to bring that same energy and enthusiasm to help create a positive and supportive environment for everyone at Monash.

This year, I hope to offer mentorship and peer support as a second-year student, helping freshmen transition smoothly into university life. I also hope to help bring heart-warming and welcoming experiences to all of our friends here at Monash university! I also hope to be a welcoming person too,  I’m looking forward to working alongside the MONSU team and meeting students from all walks of life. If you’d like to stay connected, feel free to follow my socials at @mkthyng on Instagram, or on the main page @monsupeninsula, where I’ll be sharing updates on what’s happening with MONSU and student life! Let’s make 2025 an unforgettable year together!"
