SOCIAL
Events: Party n Play
If you’re looking for Greeks, Greeks and more Greeks to party with, chill with and get to know, then this is the right place to come! Foster friendships, make memories, lose memories, its what we do!
We gather paidia from all corners of Melbourne and turn our events into a mixing pot for all things amazing! Ask anyone Greek, they’ve been to a NUGAS event, and that’s saying something!
Networking: HACCI and AHEPA
A part of being at University (or of that age at least) is moving into the reality of the business world. We’re committed to connecting young Greeks with business mind sets to valuable mentors and the right organisations to help chase, grow and transform their passions!
We’ve hosted career breakfasts, gone to existing events together, and every now and again we get invited to party with the big boys at annual dinners and awards nights! The Greek community is full of successful, inspiring people who only want the same for every generation to come. Find your passion, find your mentor, make it BIG!
EDUCATION
Study Greek at a Tertiary Level
Want to study Greek at a tertiary level but your university doesn’t offer it? You can now enrol in a Greek unit at La Trobe and have the credit count towards your degree at your current university!
It may seem like a big process, but we have broken it down into simple steps you can take to enrol in Greek at La Trobe as a cross-institutional subject at your university.

Please feel free to contact Dr Stephie Nikoloudis, Coordinator of the Greek Studies program at La Trobe University, (s.nikoloudis@latrob.edu.au) or NUGAS’ Education Officer Christina Savopoulos (nugas@nugasvic.org.au) if you need any guidance during this process.
Greek School Outreach Program
All year round we’re busy organising visits and projects to collaborate with different Greek schools across Melbourne! It was an important experience for us, and is still today for so many young students and we want to contribute where we can! We want to connect the Greek school curriculum to the real world and pass on the inspiration for younger Greeks to get involved!
Til date we’ve worked with many schools including:
Agios Nikolaos (Yarraville) || Omiros College (Altona) || Protypo Greek Centre (Oakleigh) || Agio Vasilios (Brunswick) || St Andrew’s (Forest Hill)
TA LEME: NUGAS Radio Show
Catch us every Tuesday from 8-9pm delving into Greek-Australian curiosities, issues, news and hosting amazing guests from all over Melbourne (and beyond)!
Heck, you can get in touch for your chance to WIN BIG, CONTRIBUTE, or even COME ON IN! We’ve spent a LOT of time implementing new structure, ways of interacting and it is a show you do not want to miss!
Lectures and Interactive Seminars
Be it as individual clubs, or as NUGAS as a whole, we pride ourselves on popping out amazing and intriguing lectures for everyone to enjoy! Come join us and see! There will always be an inter-generational conversation waiting to happen and a table of SNACKS waiting to be demolished!
Hellenes in the Diaspora Series || Parthenon Marbles
NUGAS Publications
Delving into deep and relevant topics in the Greek-Australian community has always been a prominent feature of NUGAS! Writing our own newsletters and publishing articles for Neos Kosmos in the past, and Ta Nea in the present, has allowed us to give a platform to the youth to give their perspective and have their say!
CULTURAL
Engagement with Cultural Clubs
Through our past and present committees, projects have overlapped, worlds have merged and NUGAS has become very close to different cultural organisations and families across Melbourne! We’re engaged with and love to celebrate as many of their events as we can!
Cretan Brotherhood || Pallaconian Brotherhood || Cypriot Youth
Community Events
It’s become tradition for NUGAS to attend and have a stall at our communities biggest events! We’re a staple at the Antipodes festival and act as a hub for all students - university or not! Wherever there isn’t a NUGAS tent, there is still always someone from NUGAS! We’re always out and about!
