Benefits

Our Peer Mentors are senior students from your faculty, school or course who can help you to settle in and adjust to uni life during your first six weeks of study.

They'll provide you with regular support and advice, while helping you to:

• Navigating the learning environment, processes and systems.
• Meet new people and build your own networks at Macquarie.
• Keep informed and understand how to access the support services available at Macquarie.
• Find answers to questions and feel empowered to succeed academically and socially.
