The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

Over the last few years, a number of universities have implemented specialist peer mentoring programs to support students on the Autism Spectrum with their studies. While many of us appreciate the positive impact these can have for students on the spectrum, what’s the impact for the mentors? This webinar draws on the experience of a panel of student mentors from across Australia to explore the personal and potential professional benefits of being a mentor. Mentors will also share their insights on the impact of COVID-19 on their role and for their mentees, and will offer some suggestions for supporting students on the Autism Spectrum during these times.

The webinar is free to attend, it will be live captioned and recorded. The captioned video will then be made available on ADCET.

Can’t attend? Don’t worry. Still register and we will send you details on how to access the recorded session.
