Dr Anna Denejkina from Western Sydney University is currently leading work around encouraging and supporting more Veterans to undertake higher education studies. Her latest research project is designed to investigate the role of online engagement and mentoring through Zoom to support Student Veteran’s transition from military life into student life, by creating a peer and external support network in their first year at university.
Dr Denejka is looking for additional mentors to support Student Veterans on the program. Mentors need to be an ex-ADF Service member and have completed/graduated with a university degree, OR have undertaken some university study (without completing a degree) during and/or after seperating from the ADF.
Mentors can be located anywhere in Australia and are asked to contribute 1 hour of their time per week for a period of 6 weeks.
