Provide a reliable and accessible support network for commencing students. Provide continuing students with the opportunity to develop leadership, communication, organisation and team work skills. Develop the international perspectives of both mentors and mentees.

Results Consistently, over 90% of mentors have indicated that they believe that UniSA values diversity and they feel part of the university community. The main role of the Business Mentors was during the Orientation program, and 89% of commencing students found the student mentors to be helpful. ‘Starting university can be confusing, especially in a business degree, where you are learning things which are completely new. Having people around who are going through the same things is really helpful in making you feel like you are a part of the University environment’ – Comment from a new student
