This program is developed to introduce commencing students to the various social aspects within the Materials Postgraduate Society and the School of Materials Science and Engineering. We provide peer mentorship to new students, as well as various welcome events and an orientation package to assist them with settling into our school.
The program aims to align both international and domestic commencing students with a peer mentor that understands their situation. Typically this mentor will be sourced from the same research group. Mentees may opt-out at any time.
