About the UniMentor Program
The UniMentor Program at UWA connects new students with experienced current students to support a smooth transition into university life. Designed to help newcomers feel welcomed and informed, the program offers personalised, peer-to-peer guidance during the first semester.
Mentors are available to answer questions, share tips on navigating university life, and provide insights into everything from academic resources to social activities. Through one-on-one and small group interactions, the program fosters a sense of belonging and helps new students build confidence, make connections, and engage with the UWA community from day one.
For Semester 2 2025 the program will open on the 8th of July

One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination. - John C. Maxwell
