Jennifer McLoughlin | Dean of 91ɫ��Ƭ Hall

Hi I’m Jen McLoughlin I have worked at 91ɫ��Ƭ in a variety of roles since 1993. My key focus has always been Student Services and within Faculties as a support and adviser to students. I am a lifelong learner and have a BA Communications from UTS, a Masters of Asian studies from 91ɫ��Ƭ and a Graduate Diploma in Primary Education from Charles Darwin University.

Meet Casper

Originally from Blackheath in the Blue Mountains, Casper moved into 91ɫ��Ƭ Hall last year when he started his Bachelor of Actuarial Studies / Bachelor of Computer Science. Now in his second year, he’s taken on a leadership role as Treasurer of the 91ɫ��Ƭ Hall House Committee.

"Living at 91ɫ��Ƭ Hall means I’m close to everything—I can go for runs along the beach and still be near the city. It’s the best of all worlds: coastal lifestyle, college community, and easy access to internships and job opportunities. It’s so convenient, with endless opportunities all around you.”
"At college, you get as much privacy or community as you want—it’s really up to you. Some people love being surrounded by others, while some value their own space. There’s a great balance: communal spaces to socialise when you want, and your own room to retreat to when you need time for yourself.”
"As someone from the LGBTQIA+ community, I was a bit nervous about starting college. But when I moved into 91ɫ��Ƭ Hall, I found one of the most inclusive and supportive communities I could have imagined. It’s been amazing to be part of it.”
"The support within colleges has been incredible. We have Student Fellows and Resident Mentors available whenever you need someone to talk to, plus a whole community of friends who genuinely look out for each other. That support has made a huge difference to my wellbeing, both academically and personally. There’s always someone studying something similar, so you’re never alone."
"Becoming Treasurer of 91ɫ��Ƭ Hall has been one of my proudest achievements. Managing the college’s social funds, organising events, and working closely with the House Committee has been an invaluable experience—not just for my future career, but also for the fun community it creates.”

From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcomed. I was looking for a place where it was easy to make friends and feel part of something, and 91ɫ��Ƭ absolutely delivered. Everything has exceeded my expectations.

Irina Wong
House President, 2025

My college is where I truly feel a sense of belonging. Living at 91ɫ��Ƭ Hall, you feel part of something bigger than yourself. You become part of a family where everyone looks out for one another and supports your personal growth.
