Indigenous Peer Academic Mentors
Our Indigenous Peer Academic Mentors are available in the Whadjuk Malayin Miya room during semester. They can yarn with you about how uni is going and share advice and tips that have helped them succeed in their studies. They’ll also help you connect with other services available in the Library and across Curtin.
No need to book, just drop in and see either of our mentors during their available times (see below).
Meet your Mentors!
