Are you a new student at La Trobe starting your course in Semester 1, 2026? Register now to become a mentee.
The Student Mentorship Program is a 6-week program aimed at supporting first-year students as they start university. It includes meet ups between matched mentors and mentees and email check-ins. Meet ups can be in person or online, depending on your location and you can give preference to this when signing up.
The program starts on 23 February 2026 during Semester 1 Orientation Week. So register now!
Hear what one of our past mentees had to say about their experience:
“I liked that my mentor was always there to help me, even if I needed a small tip on how to navigate university life and settling in. It was comforting to know someone was there to support me through the first 6 weeks in case I was stuck or confused.”
Our mentors can help you with;
- navigating your campus and providing tips and tricks
- providing encouragement and advice
- connecting you with support services
- building your confidence with the learning environment
- meeting new people and making friends!
Note that this is social, peer support mentoring and not academic or study-related mentoring.
