One of the great student support initiatives I’ve seen are the drop-in peer mentoring sessions available to STEM students in the College of Science and Engineering. Sometimes the best help is help from a fellow student! Sessions for Bedford Park and Tonsley start in Week 2. City sessions start in Week 4.
The College of Science and Engineering (CSE) offers a variety of support options to help you excel in your studies.
Their peer mentoring services are available at Bedford Park, Tonsley, and city, providing assistance with study skills, navigating FLO, interpreting assignment instructions, and offering discipline-specific support.
Whether you’re studying physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering, or any other STEM field, their mentors are there to help. Below, you’ll find detailed information on the support sessions available across different locations.
