Evolving an environmental science mentoring programme

A mentoring programme was established in 1997 for students in the Environmental Science programme at Murdoch University. While the programme has demonstrated a high degree of student satisfaction and increased student retention in first year, it has continued to evolve to suit the needs of the students. Increasingly, the programme is focussing on small social groups meeting over coffee once a week.
