Welcome International Students

Jennifer Podesta Candidate support , , , 0 Comment

We are delighted to welcome so many new international HDR students and their families to our Charles Sturt campuses this session. We know that settling into a new country, home, school or community can take time and we hope that you are finding the help and support you need. Our International Support team are ready to help out.
Our Mentoring team is also available to connect new HDR students with a local mentor to help with the settling in process. Please contact them by email if you would like this assistance.

Mentors needed
They are also keen to hear from existing HDR students willing to be mentors. An hour or so once a fortnight can make a huge difference to a new student and it’s a great way to build your own skills and networks. We particularly need mentors on Bathurst and Port Macquarie campuses.
Submit an expression of interest form or contact the team at mentoring@csu.edu.au  if you are willing to help out.
