FIT Tech Squads
Tech Squads are open to all FIT postgraduate students and provide a place for students to network, participate in social activities, compete in inter squad competitions and have some fun with their peers! Tech Squads are designed to help new students transition into university life and give current students the opportunity to participate and develop their leadership skills in a faculty-run program.
Squad Seniors are current postgraduate students in the Faculty of Information Technology. You’ll help ensure that all students have the support they need as well as play a critical part in fostering a positive and engaged student community committed to social and cultural inclusion.
