Senior Residential Scholars 2009

Jocelyn Condon - Senior Resident Laura Lehany - Senior Resident Alison Musgrove

Jocelyn Condon

Laura Lehany - B&G has an amazing feeling of community spirit

which is what I like most about the place. 

I love the fact that so many of the residents are willing to jump in

and give anything a go, be it sport, debating or theatre.

My favourite thing to do at college is to chill in the kitchens

because they're always flooded with people.

Alison Musgrove - Hi my name is Alison and I'm a third year

Economics/Asian Studies student majoring in Mandarin and security studies. 

I've been at B&G for three years now and love the social aspects of living at college. 

My favourite things about B&G are putting on the redbacks jersey for 

college sporting teams and socialising in the kitchen.

Nivarith Nair Nolan Brice Samitha Ramanayake

Nivarith Nair - Big shoutout to all my fellow Redbacks!
I'm in my second year doing a Bachelor of Arts majoring

in International Relations and Contemporary Asian socieities.

I proudly hail from sunny Singapore and I like Amanda

sometimes dress as I was still living near the equator.

I was the first year International Rep in 2008. This place

has become a second home and I liken it to an extended family.

Really enjoy the community spirit and easy going atmosphere.

Believe there's so much to learn from the collective wisdom and

experiences of such a diverse group of people. I love sports

(am especially fanatical about football and Liverpool), good company, travelling,

music, Kerala, cloud watching, cooking(not really), the great outdoors and

doing obscure essays.  
Oh and I'm sometimes mistaken for my mischievious twin Nivi so don't be deceived.
Peaceout

Nolan Brice - Nolan Brice is a second year Commerce/Arts student
and the senior resident on A2
Aptly described as a Renaissance man, his interests include sport,

poetry, vodka rasberries, Brice's on Ice, movies, the theatre and

alone time.
Nolan describes his greatest lover as Burton and Garran hall even

though it always forces him to make his own breakfast
