UC OPEN DAY FEST
Sat 20 Sept, 9am - 3pm
Your UC Student Mentor will be there to support you through your first 8 weeks of semester:
Our UC Student Mentors are a reflection of our wonderfully diverse community, each bringing their own unique experiences and strengths. You will be matched with a mentor based on your degree, shared lived experiences, interests and hobbies.
I chose my degree because I want to be able to support people and foster a safe and comfortable environment. Being a Student Mentor allows me the opportunity to do this and create a welcoming atmosphere for new students. My favourite thing about ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ is the abundance of beautiful parks where I can enjoy peaceful and relaxing walks.
I moved here in 2024 to pursue further studies as I have strong interest in Logistics and Supply Chain and I think IT would be a good addition to my career journey. I love ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ because despite the calm and quiet environment, the people here are very friendly, welcoming and warm hearted. No matter where you come from or what your background is, if you put yourself out there, you will find the community for you.
I chose my degree as I grew up struggling with dyslexia and I had teachers who would think I am naughty, but I had a couple teachers who took the time to help me. Which is why I wanted to become a teacher so I can have that positive impact on all children. I love ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ for how peaceful and green it is. I love that I can wake up and leave my house and within a couple of minutes I can be bushwalking in nature.
I chose my degree because I want to be part of an emerging industry that blends business improvement with the future of technology, building on my consulting experience where I discovered my strengths in communication and relationship-building. Coming from a hustle-bustle city, I really appreciate being able to slow down and soak in ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥â€™s scenery, fresh air, and peaceful views.
I chose to study a Master's in Data Science because I'm passionate about AI and machine learning and want to build a career in this field. One of my favourite things about ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ is watching the sunset at Lake Burley Griffin during autumn. I also enjoy taking peaceful walks through Commonwealth Park, where I can relax and appreciate the beautiful scenic view.
