“It’s great to see such a diverse group of passionate people all determined to make a positive difference in the Monash community,” Aristidis said.

His team consists of 15 members aged between 15 and 25, and its aim is to establish links between the younger generation and the Monash Council, providing the youth with a platform to express themselves and contribute to the community.
