a social ecosystem for university students to connect, work & play

Mission

Our mission is to create a dynamic social ecosystem for university students, enabling them to connect, work, and play.

our focus

We are dedicated to helping students gain their first real work experience by managing social media accounts for small businesses in the hospitality sector.

Through this hands-on approach, students learn essential skills in social media management and client interaction, while employers benefit from fresh, innovative ideas to elevate their social media presence.

The benefits for businesses are lower cost and high-quality local talent who take a real interest in the business.

Our story

Andrew and Shinyi met while teaching at RMIT University. 

While exchanging stories about their teaching experiences, they noticed a recurring theme in students’ laments - they were anxious about finding a job, they were frustrated about inadequate support from universities, they felt isolated and alone.

Of course, Covid-19 and remote learning didn’t help.

With a shared passion for helping and mentoring students, plus with a combined 20+ years of experience in the tertiary education industry, Andrew and Shinyi decided to do something about this problem.

And that is how CampusLife was born 🎉

CampusLife is now led by Andrew. Alongside his leadership at CampusLife, he also runs Social Star, a thriving marketing agency. His dual expertise in both education and marketing ensures that CampusLife remains at the forefront of innovative solutions for students and businesses.
