Hi my name is Paul Ting

Hi everyone, I'm Paul and I am excited to serve as your DUSA President for 2025. I’m a fourth year Bachelor of Commerce/Law student and I’ve been an elected office-bearer of DUSA since my first year, first as the Burwood Campus Coordinator, then as Vice President- Education.

People who know me know that I’m a genuine, upbeat and inquisitive individual who is drawn to new things and cares deeply about what I do. I’m a huge music nerd, bubble tea fanatic and a big fan of the great outdoors.

I’m all about making a practical difference in my community and DUSA is the perfect avenue that empowers students to bring the change they want to see. In 2024, I served as the President of the Enviro Club, where I lead the club to new heights, raising almost 10K for charity to ultimately becoming one of the largest clubs on campus. The Enviro club has helped me share my love for nature with our Deakin Community while building a positive and vibrant community on campus.

My passion for fostering connections and improving student experience has led me throughout my time here at Deakin. Our club’s space is a crucial many of us love DUSA. As campus coordinator, I spearheaded DUSA’s first ever Club’s Celebration Evening, a celebration of the invaluable work the executives behind our 130+ clubs. As Vice-President Education, I have successfully advocated for the new IT Tech Assist Programs, Mandatory consent trainings and helped establish Deakin’s first ever Disability Room.

DUSA is a force for good on campus. DUSA is a here to help you meet your first friend, to be here for you here when things get tough and to advocate for things that affect your learning experience such as the 24/7 Library.

In 2025, I want to contribute to a vibrant community and build a strong campus culture. I want DUSA to enhance your uni life, to help you make great memories, great friends and great times. I want to work towards improving the areas at uni that matter to you most, by hearing your concerns and being a relentless voice to the University.

I’m always on campus so if you see me, please come to say! I’m always down for a chat (and a bubble tea)!
