Connect with a La Trobe Leader
Set yourself up for success and connect with a La Trobe Leader today!
For many people starting university can feel quite daunting. Its normal to have lots of questions and to feel nervous, so wouldn’t it be great to have someone to guide you through as you settle into university life?
Our La Trobe Leaders Program’s New to La Trobe Peer Mentoring program does just that.
Our La Trobe Leaders are experienced students who know what it is like to be new to La Trobe and are here to help you navigate your campus, connect you with support services, and provide you with advice about university life.
The program starts just after orientation and runs for the first 6 weeks of semester- just long enough to help you find your feet.
Better still, we’ll match you with a leader who has something in common with you – so you’ll have lots to talk about!
How the program works:
Your La Trobe leader will initially reach out to you via email and you’ll have an initial catch up.
In that catch up you will:
- Decide how you’d like to catch up in future (in person or online or even just via email)
- How often you’ll catch up (we recommend at least once every 2 weeks)
- Create a mentoring an agreement
From there your La Trobe Leader will be your guide helping to:
- Connect you to get involved in university life outside the classroom
- Connect and link you into support services for students
- Connect you into academic support services who can help you with your studies
- They’re also great at explaining how everything works!
Semester 1 registrations close 13th February 2025
