Connect Mentor Program
The Connect Mentor Program is a peer support program designed to assist you with your early transition to La Trobe University. Prior to Orientation you will be assigned to a Mentor Group of between 10 to 20 students and allocated a Connect Mentor who studies the same course or is in the same faculty as you. Connect Mentors are students in second year or above who have been carefully selected and trained to provide you with support in your transition to university.
Your Connect Mentor will contact you via your student email before Orientation to give you information on where to meet them. Refer to the box on the inside cover of the Orientation Program to find out how to access your student email. If you don’t hear from your Mentor before Orientation, just drop in at your designated faculty marquee on Tuesday 26 February at the time listed below and our Mentors will help you.
You will meet your Connect Mentor on Tuesday 26 February. Your Mentor will take you on a tour of the campus with other students you will be studying with.
Throughout the first six weeks of semester, your Mentor will maintain regular contact with you so you can ask questions or have a chat with other members of the group about how you are settling in. Connect Mentors are not academic advisors, but can offer firsthand knowledge on the student experience at La Trobe. They can point you in the right direction for appropriate services, resources and other avenues of support.
TIP – Connect Mentors will be wearing colour coded t-shirts according to their faculty, so check the list on the first page in the Orientation Program and look for people wearing t-shirts in your faculty colour on the day.
