As a new student, your first few weeks at University can be daunting.
Whether you’re from rural Victoria, interstate or overseas, Deakin University's Business and Law Student Mentor Program can help you!
The Student Mentor Program is about supporting new students through their social and academic transition in their first trimester. It gives new students the opportunity to gain first hand knowledge from a current student as well as meet up to three new students in their group. The mentors and mentees meet weekly for six weeks and potentially more or less if they want. Mentors are current Deakin students who can:
- Interpret academic expectations
- Link you to support services in the Faculty and across the University
- Increase your level of confidence in a new and dynamic learning environment
- Encourage you to get involved in all clubs and societies
The Student Mentor Program is about making new friends and utilising the experience of your mentor so that you don't have to work everything out for yourself. The program has many benefits and creates an immediate link with the Deakin Community.
