The Monash University Midwifery Society or M.U.M.S is a Peninsula based club that organises social and academic events for both midwifery and other students.

Monash University Nursing Club (MUNCS)

MUNC was established in 2009 for all Nursing and Nursing/Emergency Health students. So far, it has been a great success! Our first function was the joint "Back to School" Booze Cruise with the Physio Society, which received amazing feedback from all those who attended. In 2010, MUNC has many plans for nursing (and non-nursing!) students. This will include a party in first semester and either a Ball or another Booze Cruise in the second semester!

We are currently also planning for either Monash Nursing Hoodies or Trackies, which will all be discounted for members!

For all those students who are keen to contribute are welcome to join and make 2010 as amazing as 2009 was!

Monash Education Society (MES)

The starting of Peninsula's new MES will be in 2010, with various social events and functions planned for its new members and for anyone who wants to come along. We aim to provide first year students a comfortable and social environment in their transition form high school to university, and for all current students we hope to provide you with various events that allow you to enjoy the more social side to university. To kick off the year we will be holding a welcoming BBQ for all our new members to get to know each other followed by the 'MES Ball' as our possible end of semester function. With all things going as planned we hope to organize a Booze Cruise during semester 2 for our members and anyone interested in coming along for a social and fun night out.
