Testimonials
"Vo
lunteering was a natural calling! Having shared a great camaraderie with the University and other fellow students I felt that being able to give back through in-country mentoring, inspiring new and potential students, and representing the University at senior delegations was the best possible way to stay connected. As well as establishing new bonds with other University of Newcastle alumni. Seven years down and long may it continue!”

"Volunteering lets me become involved in professional and academic spheres that enhance my networking skills and professional development. Being a former international student myself, I take delight in being able to support prospective students who are looking for advice and have questions similar to the ones I had when I was about to commence my study abroad.”
