Hudson Institute Student Association (HISS) helps students working in research groups across our Precinct come together to share ideas, network and support each other academically and socially.

HISS facilitates stronger relationships by organising regular social events, competitions and conferences including

• Hudson Student Retreat
• 3 minute thesis competition
• Christmas in July
• Dumplings nights
• Trivia and movie nights.

Hudson Institute Student Society (HISS) represents all research students at Hudson Institute of Medical Research and the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health (Monash University).
