Health Peer Mentoring
A peer mentor is an experienced student within the Faculty of Health in the same or similar course to you, who will support your transition to life as a Deakin student.
You can:
Mentor drop-in sessions
Can’t make it to a meeting or haven’t signed up for a mentor? Mentor drop-in sessions are open to all health students.
Trimester 2 drop-in sessions are being held online and on campus at the Deakin Burwood library.

Deakin's peer mentoring program is excellent! I recommend that all first years should sign up to this free program as it is a great way to not only learn, but form new friendships with students in your course!
