"Cheryl is very conscientious and has shown good perseverance with the project, despite the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 situation. She has worked well remotely and kept in contact regularly to share progress. She has worked methodically and in a systematic way towards the agreed objectives. We have enjoyed having Cheryl as an intern and some of the research she has undertaken will be very useful for us as a university department going forwards."

Cheryl Wong, a final year student in the Bachelor of Media (Journalism), has been actively involved in extra-curricular experiences alongside her degree. She has been a Student Ambassador and Peer Mentor to fellow students, supported on-campus events such as Open Day, and acted as an event marshal for the Australia Day Parade (to name just a few of her experiences!).
Cheryl believes the Award is “a great opportunity for young professionals to get industry experience, from observing as a volunteer to creating our own projects and putting our knowledge into practice.”

2019 Volunteer Achievement Award
I first heard about volunteering opportunities at the university while attending the Open Day back in 2017. I couldn’t wait to get started so I started researching opportunities online and applied. Then in April 2018 I was given my first volunteer role helping at the Adelaide Botanic High School Entrance Exams. From there I have volunteered at many events on and off campus and in July 2018 I was provided the opportunity to be an Adelaide Graduate Award Student Ambassador.
I have also helped out at the Children’s University Graduations, Orientation Week and have been an Arts Peer Mentor since May 2019.

On the post announcing her takeover, Cheryl received 44 likes, encouraged 29 profile visits, and had a reach of 707.
