What our peer mentors say...
"The program was very well-organised with direct and consistent lines of communications between the program organisers and mentors. This ensured that all mentors understood their role and responsibilities and that we had strong levels of support to assist mentees with both general and specific course-related questions."
"...the program was extremely beneficial in helping me to develop a greater sense of confidence in my ability to support others and communicate effectively and with empathy."
