The Exciting New IH Website is Live!
Check out our brand new International
House website, you might even
recognise a few familiar faces. The
website has been designed to offer
potential Australian and International
residents
a
more
user-friendly
experience and to more accurately
reflect the fresh, fun, relaxed, modern,
and most importantly welcoming vibe
at IH. The website also better showcases
our recently refurbished rooms and
bathrooms, in part thanks to a legacy of
generous funding from Rotary Clubs.
Check out  www.inthouse.uq.edu.au

inclusive,
on-campus
UQ
global
community. Follow us on Facebook and

IH FUNDRAISING
#redfrogsau
Housies (IH residents) raised funds for a variety of
causes in 2019, from Red Frogs Australia to One
Girl's, Do It In A Dress - a charity challenging
people to wear a dress for those who can't. Do It
In A Dress runs annually with global fundraisers
supporting programs that help harness the
power of education for girls and young women
in Sierra Leone and Uganda. In June, Housies
and IH Director, Dr Carla Tromans attended the
Red Frogs Australia Fundraising Gala. Housies
presented Andy Gourley aka Boss Frog, with a
cheque for $1200 from the IH Student Club.
Funds were raised for various Red Frog volunteer
networks that provide direct relief to young
people, including over $50,000 towards their
University Program.
