Alumni Dialogue is an annual event of talk hosted by The University of Melbourne's Student Organised Network of Architecture (SONA). It is a chance to connect alumni from the architecture and construction industry to current students. Alumni Dialogue 2022 was the first on campus talk since the pandemic.
As a SONA 2022 Committee Member, I was responsible for copywriting for posters and Facebook post, collaborate with Tasha for poster graphic design and host the Q&A session at the end of the talk.
SONA aimed to advertise the event to all students of the Architecture, Building and Planning faculty and encourage students to participate the in person session in order to have direct conversation with guest speakers. The talk discussed the boundary between architecture and personal life, seeking advices from professionals on how to maintain a sustainable lifestyle when pursuing such demanding career like architecture.
