Peer Support Team 2023
What is the Peer Mentor Program?
Peer Mentoring is all about growing in your new environment. This involves making new friends, getting to know your campus, developing support networks, and making your transition from high school to University a smooth, exciting, and fun one! You’ll be able to pick up tips and tricks of the trade from your support group of 4th year students who have gone through exactly what you are about to go through!
This program is for all commencing first year undergraduate students who are enrolled in the Bachelor of Vision Science, Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Clinical Optometry, and Bachelor of Science majoring in Vision Science.
There will be special events that your peer mentors will organise, such as the FAMOUS EyeMazing Race, social events, and even Trivia and Pizza nights! Get involved because it will be an epic experience!
