Vannis WenyuWAN Walexandra’s academic and social success is a testament to the resilience and determination of our international students. Moving initially to Melbourne from Shenzhou City in North China in 2017 and then to Lincoln College in 2023, he faced the challenge of studying at university with English as his second language. Despite this, Vannis has not only realised his academic goals but also embraced every opportunity to integrate socially and develop a strong sense of community while at Lincoln College. His ability to adapt to a new culture and forge lasting friendships has helped him thrive in an inclusive environment.
Lincoln College played a crucial role in Vannis’ success, providing a supportive and welcoming environment that allowed him to balance academics, work, and social life. The college’s strong community, academic resources and extracurricular opportunities helped him navigate challenges and build lasting connections.
Beyond academics, Vannis also created a balanced work-life dynamic, working full-time while completing his degree. He gained valuable experience with the Caledonia Group and Adelaide Oval, securing a graduate position at Grant Thornton. His story is a powerful example of determination, inclusivity and professional ambition combining to shape a successful future.
