Meet the College Dogs

Living away from home often means leaving furry friends behind but at Mannix you can enjoy the company of Joe and Alma, our two furry celebrities. Belonging to Dean of Students & Wellbeing, Annie, Joe is a cheeky border collie boy whoโ€™s constantly sniffing out treats to eat and muffins to steal. Belonging to Business Manager, Dom, Alma is a lovely little cavoodle who loves sitting on laps, busy keeping Joe at bay.

Students are constantly visiting our adorable pooches to de-stress with a dose of cuteness and even getting some exercise by taking them out on walks. They greet everyone with butt wiggles, never failing to put a smile on everyoneโ€™s faces promoting a fun and happy culture throughout the College.

Big ch-ch-ch-changes at Mannix. Construction has officially begun! After months of planning, our residential wing refurbishment is well underway. Over the next eight weeks, a very busy crew of builders will breathe new life into 290 bedrooms and freshen every corridor. This is the largest upgrade to these living spaces since Mannix opened in 1969. When the dust settles, our residents will enjoy more comfortable rooms with modern finishes and a much brighter, quieter and more sustainable environment. It is a huge undertaking and we are thrilled to see it moving from blueprint to reality. Stay tuned for progress updates and a few behind the scenes moments from the site. #MannixCollege #MonashAccommodation #ResidentialCollege

When the nationโ€™s top college leaders gather, you know something exciting is happening. Student leaders Lavinia, Sienna, Alex and Alex are representing Mannix at the NAAUC National Conference, joining peers from every state and territory to explore best practice, strengthen safety cultures and spark fresh ideas for vibrant, supportive communities. Staff member Sophie is also part of the staff program, connecting with colleagues across Australia on smarter prevention, wellbeing and leadership. NAAUC is one of three major conferences we engage with each year, alongside those hosted by University Colleges Australia and the Asia Pacific Student Accommodation Association. Together these touchpoints keep Mannix connected to national best practice and strong communities of practice. Big thanks to NAAUC for another brilliant conference. Our crew is learning plenty, laughing often and holding strong despite alarming coffee consumption. With @naauc #MannixCollege #MonashAccommodation #ResidentialCollege #NAAUC

We know that whatโ€™s in a can isnโ€™t the most important thing. Itโ€™s what you do with it. โ™ป๏ธ Across campus, our residents use specialised bins to give every empty can a second life. ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธโœจ Thanks to Victoriaโ€™s Container Deposit Scheme, each container we collect earns 10 cents which becomes something far bigger than waste reduction. We turn cans into access scholarships that help students get to university and thrive once theyโ€™re here. ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ’› Since July 2024, our community has returned 37,100 containers and raised $3,710 for scholarships. ๐Ÿ™Œ Thatโ€™s everyday student life transformed into sustainability and opportunity, one can at a time. And because weโ€™re nerds about this stuff, we did the maths. If you stacked every one of those cans on top of the next, our โ€œMannix Mountainโ€ would climb over 4.5 kilometres into the sky. Thatโ€™s half of Mt Everest, built from good habits, shared effort and the beverages that fuel a university year. ๐Ÿ”๏ธ๐Ÿฅค Behind this impact is our whole community. Our Maintenance Team built a presorting station from recycled odds and ends found around campus. Our residents sort containers at events like Castle Day, making sustainability simple, social and fun. And every week, our recycling champion Adam visits Ferdinand and Vinn at the Return-It Depot in Springvale, where world-class service turns our haul into scholarship dollars. ๐Ÿ’ฐโ™ป๏ธ Weโ€™re proud fans of CDS Vic because it transforms small, good choices into big change. It keeps waste out of landfill. It builds a more sustainable campus. And it helps open doors for students who deserve a fair chance at education in our community. So hereโ€™s cheers to a cleaner campus, brighter futures and the power of turning small actions into big impact, one can at a time. ๐Ÿฅคโžก๏ธ๐ŸŽ“โœจ #CDSVicFan

Big news, Mannix โ€” your 2026 student leaders have been officially announced, and what a powerhouse team they are. Next yearโ€™s Resident Advisors, MCSS Committee and Welcome Team will be the heartbeat of campus life, building community, supporting their peers and creating the moments and memories that make Mannix feel like home. And theyโ€™re not just stepping in cold. Every leader completes three weeks of pre-service training, with one week wrapped up in November and two more coming in February. These intensives prepare them to lead a safe, vibrant and inclusive College, while boosting their confidence, skills and employability. Leadership at Mannix isnโ€™t a title; itโ€™s growth in action. From the care and steadiness of our RAs, to the colour and creativity of the MCSS, to the first-day magic brought by the Welcome Team, this crew will bring serious energy to 2026. Massive congratulations to every student joining this epic team! We canโ€™t wait to see the impact youโ€™ll make next year. #MannixCollege #MonashAccommodation #ResidentialCollege #StudentLeaders #MonashUniversity #CollegeLife #CampusLiving #StudentExperience #LeadershipDevelopment

Discovering meaning, together. This semester, our College Chaplain Fr Tony has been leading The Search โ€” an optional weekly program inviting residents of all faiths and none to explore lifeโ€™s big questions in a relaxed, open setting. From deep conversations to shared laughter, these gatherings have sparked curiosity, connection, and reflection โ€” reminding us that the journey of purpose, and community is one we take together. Here are a few highlights from The Search this semester. #MannixCollege #MonashAccommodation #ResidentialCollege
