Are you a new student at La Trobe? Register now to be matched with an experienced student to help you settle into university life.
The Student Mentorship Program is a 6-week program aimed at supporting first-year students as they start university. It includes meet ups between matched mentors and mentees and email check-ins. Meet ups can be in person or online, depending on your location, and you can give preference to this when signing up.
The program starts in Semester 1 Orientation Week, 24 February 2025, so register now!
Hear what one of our past mentees had to say about their experience:
“I liked that my mentor was always there to help me, even if I needed a small tip on how to navigate university life and settling in. It was comforting to know someone was there to support me through the first 6 weeks in case I was stuck or confused.”
Our mentors can help you with;
- navigating your campus and providing tips and tricks
- providing encouragement and advice
- connecting you with support services
- building your confidence with the learning environment
- meeting new people and making friends!
Note that this is social, peer support mentoring and not academic or study-related mentoring.
