After a sad farewell to our awesome semester one exchange students, Howitt Hall has opened its arms to welcome our new batch of exchange students and new residents, and is preparing a Reorientation week to give them a proper introduction to Halls life.

For our returning residents, welcome back! Semester one created some great memories and saw Howitt achieve some fantastic things, and semester two is set to be busy, action packed, and full of Howitt Spirit!

The much anticipated innaugural Howitt Guitar Championship took place on Wednesday the 20th of May. Split into three divisions - easy, medium and expert - there was an opportunity for everyone to get involved. The night kicked off with the medium competition. Michael Petrovic made his way through the tough upper section of the draw, whilst Luci Tham proved the giant slayer in the lower half, taking out the fancied Sheldon Kendrick to advance to the final.
