Hey Semper readers!

We’re experiencing lots of technical difficulties with our website. Our UQU IT team are currently working to resolve these issues, but they are out of our hands for the time being! In the meantime, grab your edition of Semper outside UQU Complex.

We realise this is inconvenient for those who can’t access our print editions on campus - We will update you as soon as we can! Keep your eyes peeled for content on our socials as we will be posting more content in the interim.
