The Students of Howard Florey Institute postgraduate group (SOFI) was established in 1999 to enhance the academic, social, and professional lives of HFI students.
SOFI now represents the interests of the students of the amalgamating Florey Neuroscience Institute and also acts to represent honoraries, masters, postgraduate and undergraduate students to both the Florey and the University, and is affiliated to the University of Melbourne Postgraduate Association.
SOFI organizes a variety of academic, career-enhancing, networking and social activities each year for the express purpose of creating new opportunities, personal and career development as well as fun and enjoyment for all students - at minimal cost.
Each year kicks off with a hot sausage and a warm welcome to all new students and staff at the annual SOFI BBQ. Various events follow throughout the year from DVD and trivia nights to career forums and symposiums. The social highlight of the year, the student retreat, is a great way to form new friendships as well as learn about other student’s work and even take home a few ideas for your own project.
