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
Why Become a Mentor?
Being a mentor is rewarding, and students participate for many reasons, but most agree they receive as much from being a mentor as they give. As a mentor, you can:- Develop your communication and leadership skills and transfer them to social, academic and professional situations
- Participate in social activities and events
- Gain volunteer hours on your transcript
Why Become a Mentee?
Being a mentee is a great opportunity for new UWA students to engage in peer-led mentorship with current UWA students in their first semester. As a mentee, you can:- Meet other students
- Attend exclusive UniMentor activities and events
- Feel connected and supported during your first semester at UWA
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
