What is Student Connect?Â
Student Connect is the University's mentoring programme for 1st year students. It is a student-led programme whereby Mentor Leaders (experienced mentors) advised and train mentors who in turn mentor the University's new first year students. Â Mentor Leaders and mentors are volunteers and are happy to spend time with new students to help them settle into the University.Â
How Does Student Connect Work?Â
You and a group of other first year students will be introduced to your mentor at Orientation. The aim of the programme is two-fold, ie. students have an experienced student to contact if they encounter any difficulties and they also meet a new group of friends.
