Connect with your Peer Mentor and join the UQ SHRS Community

 

The SHRS student experience is more than just the courses you complete. It’s also about the people you meet and the connections you make! Those first few months of being a UQ SHRS student can be an overwhelming experience. You will receive a lot of information on a range of new things. Many of you will also be trying to learn your way around a new city and make new friends and support networks. The SHRS Peer Mentoring Program was created to provide a connection and support tool to help new SHRS students navigate through their first few weeks.

SHRS Peer Mentors are volunteer senior students who, like you, were new SHRS students once. They have now successfully settled into SHRS and progressed to the later years of the degree program.

The Program

The SHRS Peer Mentoring Program runs from Week 1 to Week 6.

During the program, your mentors will organise regular catch-ups with your peer group and share their own tips and university experiences, from how to best prepare for your first assessment to where to find the best coffee in Brisbane!

To get the most out of this opporunity, we strongly recommend you attend the catch-ups and communciate regularly with your group. The program is designed to support you, so make the most out of it!
