✨ What makes Alexander Williams stand out this week? ✨
Alex recently won bronze in the men’s double sculls at the 2024 World Rowing Under-19 Championships!
1. Can you describe the overall experience and what it meant to you to achieve this?🥉
It was an awesome experience, and I recommend anyone who has the chance to try out for a national team to do so! We were set up in an athletes village situation, and we ate dinner with people from countries across the world. At the start of the season, I gave myself a 1% chance of making the team, so when they told me that I was selected in the double scull, I was incredibly lucky and proud to have the opportunity to compete for Australia.
2. How did you and your rowing partner prepare leading up to the championships?🚣
As my partner was situated on the Gold Coast, we did several 2-week blocks and a 2-week block in Canada at South Niagara Rowing Club. We had the ambition to medal from the point where we were selected, so our focus was all in on how to optimise training and recovery to get the most out of our effort.
3. How this event shape your future goals and aspirations in rowing?
Medaling allows for more options for where I can study. Recently, I’ve had universities such as Princeton, Brown, and Stanford contact me for recruiting. This really stands as a start to my international racing career, with hopefully more teams to be made and eventually the goal of making the Olympics in my predicted peak of 2032 (Brisbane).
4. What advice would you give to other young rowers who aspire to compete at a world level? ✨
At the start of this season, I wasn’t even the best in my state (there were 4 competitors in the race). My focus wasn’t so much on making the team; it was about how good I can be. How fit I can get, how strong, and ultimately how quickly I can move a boat.
At the end of the day, all you can do is be as good as you can be, and you should be proud of where you get to (as long as you put 100% in). Attend all selection events and regattas because experience is one of, if not the most important factors in your performance at trials.

✨ What makes Nicholas Craven stand out this week? ✨
Nick is an alumnus who has completed an internship at BDO and is currently a sessional tutor for our UniSA Business students.
1. What do you miss the most about living at Lincoln College?💙💛
Definitely the social aspect of Lincoln. I think you sometimes take it for granted that you get to spend 3 meals a day and do the majority of your social aspects with some of your best mates who will be with you for life!
2. What have been some of the most rewarding experiences as a sessional tutor?📚
I was very daunted at the beginning of being a liability as a tutor, but I have found an abundance of satisfactory moments so far. Seeing them progress from not understanding a topic to being able to convey that learnt topic into a superb grade for an assignment is super cool in my eyes and something I can’t wait to see further!
3. What were your biggest challenges during the first few weeks of your internship at BDO?💻
The level of software usage was daunting at first, we were using computer 3-4 screens at once to complete jobs, which was hectic for the first week. Also, being on the phone/zooming to clients for up to an hour at some points was terrifying even for an extroverted person like myself and talking about stuff I wasn’t fluent in.
4. What advice would you give to someone about to start their first internship?
Don’t expect to know everything when you arrive, cause you won’t typically i.e. you are using advanced software not used at Uni, how to talk to clients for extended periods, etc. The majority of places rather you be someone who’s a sponge, who’s willing to learn and soak up the knowledge they’re passing on.⭐️
Be someone that they would like to work with for 40+ hours a week. My sister-in-law who is a job recruiter made a great point to me prior to my internship, “you’re gonna see these people more than your own family and partners, so be someone they want to see as often as their own family”. I took this on board and focused on being more likeable which I think helped me land a graduate position there. ✨
Thanks Nick!💛💙

Lincoln College in the Top End.
They say that Darwin sunsets are always spectacular. There was no doubting that this past week as we enjoyed the opportunity to meet the families of current Lincoln students. A great night to grow friendships and share stories about our wonderful college.

✨ What makes Casey Atkinson stand out this week? ✨
Casey recently joined Lincoln College for Semester 2.
1. How have your first few weeks been at Lincoln so far? What do you like the most about living at Lincoln?
My first few weeks have been great! It`s been very overwhelming learning everyone`s names, but it`s nice to see how welcoming everyone is. I`m glad to have settled into Lincoln and University now.✨
I like the sense of community. I feared everything would be like a boarding school, but everything and everyone is much more relaxed than I thought. I like how everyone gets together for events like Family Feud and Pub Crawl, where nobody is left out and it feels like one big family.😊
2. Why did you decide to start university mid-year?📅
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study right out of high school, and with moving over from New Zealand, it wasn`t convenient to start in semester 1. I needed some time to settle into Australia and choose what degree I wanted.
3. What is one thing others may not yet know about you?🌍
I was born in Hobart but moved to New Zealand when I was 3, where I lived until I was 17, before moving back to Australia.
4. What has been the biggest surprise of your move?🏙️ Everything that comes with living in a big city! I`ve only ever lived in rural or suburban areas that are spread out. I`ve come to realise that Adelaide isn’t a “big” city in the scheme of things, but it seems big to me as I`ve never lived in an area with so many people.
Thanks Casey and welcome to Lincoln!💛💙

For Semester 2, we are introducing `Shoutout Thursday`. Every Thursday we will highlight a student or alumni, sharing their experiences and insights through a brief Q&A.
✨ What makes Matthew Rawsthorne stand out this week? ✨
Matthew recently spent Semester 1 at the University of Liverpool on an exchange.
1. What was the most exciting part of the exchange program? ✈️
The most exciting part of my exchange was jumping on a plane to a new country every weekend.
2. How did you manage to achieve such great grades (3 HDs!) while on exchange?📚
Yes, I got good grades while away, but this wasn’t why I went away. The UK university system is very similar to Australia, so it was easy enough to get it done.
3. What advice would you give to students considering an exchange program?🌍
My advice to everybody is to do an exchange. Just do it. When you are scared to fall is when you most need to jump. Yes, it will be scary, but believe me, you will not regret it.
Thanks, Matthew, and welcome back!💛💙
