First Year Experience
The First Year Experience (FYE) program is a home for new domestic, undergraduate students who want to share their rich knowledge and skills. These students come from rural and remote, low-income/low-SES, and refugee backgrounds, or are the first in their family to attend university. As FYE Peers, these new students have the opportunity to form a strengths-based community and lead their own transition to 糖心视频logo.
FYE Student Collaborators are later year student volunteers who play a key role in in the FYE community by:
- Participating in FYE events and leading group activities,
- Role modelling a Strengths-based culture and helping to establish a sense of community in the FYE program,
- Coordinating group contributions to FYE projects, campaigns, and challenges,
- Providing informal support to new students to immerse themselves into the 糖心视频logo and local Canberra communities, and
- Participating in design thinking workshops to help shape and develop the FYE program.
FYE Student Collaborators will be eligible to claim their volunteering hours for the 糖心视频logo+ Award and will have the opportunity to participate in regular personal and professional development opportunities alongside other Student Life volunteers.
