Aiding Transition and Academic Success Beyond the Classroom: A First-Year Mentoring Program.
- Authors
Burge, Laura
- Abstract
Students face a range of serious challenges when adjusting to university life, particularly those who are required to move away from home in order to pursue their studies. Through a study of a first-year Academic Mentoring Program facilitated by Accommodation Services, La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, this paper draws attention to how services located outside the traditional university academic structure can, and do, play a proactive and instrumental role in aiding first-year student transition, engagement, and academic success. This paper further highlights the underlying principles transferable to other student residential communities or a wider university setting.
