Old Collegians Return to Lincoln!
On October 25th, we were thrilled to welcome back two Old Collegians, brothers Michael Jiew (1997-2000) and John Jiew (1994-1996). Originally from Malaysia, the brothers now reside in Sydney, with Michael working in medicine and John in commerce and law. Both served as Residential Advisors during their time at the college, and Michael also contributed as a medical tutor, leaving a lasting impact on many students.
Joining them on this nostalgic visit were their mother and sister Maureen, who enjoyed exploring the place where John and Michael had lived and created lifelong memories. A special highlight of the day was Michael catching up with Karen, a long-time kitchen staff member who warmly remembered him. It was a beautiful reminder of the enduring friendships and memories created at Lincoln.

✨ What makes Sarah Tunstall stand out this week? ✨
Sarah`s impressive achievement as Fresher Dux for Semester 1 2024, along with her active participation in numerous SAAUCC sports, resulting in her winning Sportswoman of the Year makes her stand out this week!
1. How do you balance your academic work while also participating in college events such as SAAUCC sports?📚
I like to treat uni like a 9-5 so I have the afternoons (or mornings) to attend sports trainings and have the weekend free to be out on the court/field with the girls. It also gives me way too much anxiety submitting work at the last minute so I just do everything when I can.
2. How has participating in college activities impacted your overall college experience?✨
Back home I was heavily involved at my sporting clubs, and I wasn’t sure of where to look to find a team when I moved to Adelaide from interstate so to have the opportunity to play at college has been comforting and rewarding. I love any chance to be social (and competitive), so the House Cup events have also been so fun!
3. What resources or support systems at College have been most beneficial for your academic success?📖
Having supervised study sessions is a great motivator, I try to attend 2 a week so that is already four hours of study ticked off. You’ll also see me at Bracko’s gym sessions to keep a healthy balance. Even the little things such as walking to campus and being outdoors is such a great mood booster to keep me engaged and focused.
4. What advice would you give to incoming freshers in 2025 about getting involved in College life? 🦌
Just give everything a go! I feel like it is more difficult to stay away from College life so just embrace all the events and fun nights along the way. College is a great home away from home for someone like me who is from interstate and from a small town so seriously make the most of College – talk to new people, enjoy a night out or support the stags from the sideline. Stay ahead (schoolwork first always) so you can enjoy all the wonderful things associated with being a uni student.
Stay tuned for more inspiring stories every Thursday! 🔔

On October 16, Kym Boxall returned to Lincoln College for a cuppa with the current Head of College, Carolyn Mee. He fondly reflected on the lasting relationships and life lessons he gained during his time there, sharing insights into the legacy of the college’s past leaders, the value of donor-funded scholarships, and the importance of good catering.
Kym, a resident at Lincoln from 1970 to 1973, studied business law and economics, which laid the foundation for his distinguished career as a magistrate. Recognised for his significant contributions to the Lincoln College Board over many years, Kym was honoured with life membership. His visit was a warm reflection on both his personal and professional journey.
Driving back to Lincoln, Kym reminisced about his younger days as a long-haired student in the early 1970s. He fondly recalled sitting on the floor in the front room of the Federation Building, playing Joan Baez and Cat Stevens records on his turntable, soaking in the free-spirited atmosphere of the time.
The college holds even more special memories for Kym, as it was where he first met his wife, Dianne. Together, they built a life, raising two successful daughters and becoming proud grandparents to four grandchildren. Kym’s journey, from a young student from the Riverland to a respected magistrate and devoted family man, highlights the profound impact Lincoln College can have on those who pass through its doors.

✨ What makes George Bartley stand out this week? ✨
George Bartley competed in the Bridge World U26 Youth Transnational Teams and the World U26 Youth Pairs Championships placing 4th.
1. Can you tell us about your experience? 🌍
Competing in the world championships was an amazing experience! It was so enjoyable to play against people from all over the world. The Aussie youth team is a fantastic group of people and being around them made it even more fun!
2. What strategies or preparations contributed to your success in the pairs final? 🧠
Mindset was key to performing so well, especially since European players have more opportunities to practice, as bridge is more popular there. Every day before play, I meditated and got in the zone, which really helped me stay focused and play well.
3. What was the most challenging aspect of the competition, and how did you and your team overcome it? 🏆
The most challenging part was adapting to playing in a different country. But I stayed with some family in Poland, which helped me acclimatise a lot!
4. How did you feel representing Australia on such a big stage, and what did it mean to you personally to be part of the under-26 team? 🇦🇺
It’s definitely a high-pressure environment, and it was stressful at times. Especially since our trip was fully paid for by the Australian Bridge Federation, and we were put up in a nice hotel. But ultimately, this pressure made me laser-focused, and it helped me perform even better!

On October 9th, Lincoln College welcomed back Dr Andrew and Dr Jane Smith, both distinguished anaesthetists, for a cuppa with our Head of College, Carolyn Mee.
Andrew, a resident from 1957-1963, undertook leadership roles but particularly reminisced about being part of the victorious rowing team and fostering a close-knit community at the college.
Andrew and Jane’s careers as anaesthetists took them around the world, enriching their lives with diverse experiences. During their visit, Andrew fondly reminisced about their 1975 wedding, which took place in what is now the administration area of the Milne Building—a moment that beautifully intertwines their personal journey with the college’s history. Andrew also spoke proudly of their two children, Robyn and Robert.
Andrew and Jane’s visit was a heartwarming reminder of the enduring bonds between Lincoln alumni and the college. The Smiths` connection to Lincoln lives on through two scholarships in their name, supporting countless students; their legacy of generosity and achievement set to inspire students for years to come.

✨ What makes Japheth Chua stand out this week? ✨
Japheth stands out this week for his motivations, challenges, and advice while studying abroad.
1. What motivated you to study abroad? ✈️
My family encouraged me as many had studied abroad before. I saw it as a chance to step outside my comfort zone, gain new experiences, and expand my perspective on life. I was keen on pursuing a career in Visual Effects and CGI, and Adelaide`s growing reputation as a visual effects hub motivated me even more.
2. What has been your biggest cultural adjustment since arriving? 🌏
One major adjustment was being more open to new experiences. I had to learn how to engage in small talk, attend social events and navigate public transport in a new place. Adapting to student life at college was also a big change. The absence of bidets in toilets was also a surprising adjustment.
3. Have you found any helpful resources or support systems for international students? 🤝
Staying connected with your family and friends back home is crucial - they are your support system. Also, you can seek support from your Resident Advisor or the friends you meet here. If needed, reaching out to university or college counselling services may also be helpful. Joining clubs or societies helps too - I`m part of the Adelaide University Malaysian Students Association, which has to meet new people and feel more connected.
4. What advice would you give to other international students thinking about studying abroad? 🌟
Be open-minded and embrace opportunities to step outside your comfort zone. Network, form lifelong friendships, focus on your career, maintain your health, and stay connected to family and friends. Explore your surroundings, whether it`s trying new restaurants, visiting tourist spots, or spending time at the local pub. Embrace new experiences, so you`ll have plenty of stories to share when you return home. Remember, while you`re here to study, you`re also here to grow. It may feel alienated or isolated at times but if you put yourself out there, things will get easier. Live in the moment—you`re doing this for yourself and your family, so make the most of it.

✨ What makes Claire Macdonald stand out this week?
Claire is one of 22 medicine students at Lincoln College. She stands out this week for her insightful reflections on the rewards and challenges of medical placements and advice to new students considering studying Medicine.
1. What area of medicine are you thinking of getting into?🏥
I’m hoping to become a Rural Generalist once I graduate! It’s super appealing because you get to do a bit of everything: emergency, GP, and hospital-based work. You also get to pick a sub-specialty, so I’m hoping to do retrieval medicine and work in remote communities.
2. What have been the most rewarding and challenging aspects of your medicine placements?👩⚕️
The most rewarding aspects have been getting exposure to a range of specialties and assisting in surgeries. It feels like all the hard work is finally paying off! The challenging parts would definitely include having difficult conversations with patients and, of course, the long hours themselves.
3. What advice would you give to someone starting their first year in medicine?📚
Get involved in as much as you can! Medical school offers so many fun opportunities like MedRevue, AUMO, and specialist societies. You get to have unique experiences and form connections with people in other year levels, which is super helpful once you’re on placement.
4. How has it been living at College now for four years?🌟
I’ve loved living at college! It’s been amazing to meet so many people and have so many fun opportunities, like going to the NAUCC Conference in Brisbane in my second year!
