Become a peer mentor
Law
The Sydney Law School Peer Mentoring Program starts during Faculty Welcome Week, the week before classes begin, and runs during Semester 1 of the JD or LLB programs. The program matches mentors with a group of new students and involves sharing knowledge through mentoring sessions and participating in informal activities until the end of Week 4/5 of semester.
What’s involved
As a mentor, you are required to:
- attend one face-to-face training session via Zoom during the last week of January (Date to be confirmed)
- mix with other mentors to share your knowledge and experiences
- conduct at least three mentoring sessions with your mentee group
- lead your group through discussions to provide information, tips and direction on life as a Sydney Law student
- be a point of contact for your mentees during their first semester of study.
