Steven was a member of the inaugural Online Learning SRC in 2016, Vice President in 2019-20, and President in 2020-21. Steven had two qualifications from Charles Sturt, having first graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing in 2018 and then Paramedicine in 2021. Steven was known for his passion and selflessness and was a shining example of the Charles Sturt motto “ Yindyamarra Winhanganha' the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in.
