Thank you @nickbisley.bsky.social 🙏- you'll always be La Trobe Asia's OG! I hope you took a celebration mug to add to collection. I'm looking forward to seeing what the next 10 years looks like @nightlightguy.bsky.social @kateclaytn.bsky.social Ruth Gamble Ambika Vishwanath
We've just celebrated 10 years of La Trobe Asia. Can't believe it's a decade since we kicked off. It's one of the best things I've been involved with, proud of what we've done and even more pleased at helping La Trobe scholars find their voice in Asia. Congrats @becstrating.bsky.social and the team!
