The matching process
Matching is the first step in building a successful and rewarding mentoring relationship. Once you submit your Expression of Interest, the Office of Alumni Engagement will carefully review your submission to understand your background, career journey, goals, areas of expertise or interest, and what you hope to gain from the experience. This helps us to create the most thoughtful and well-aligned matches possible.
Whether you're looking to give back or grow forward, we’re excited to hear from you and support you on this journey.
As places in the program are limited, and matches are dependent on suitable pairings, we may not be able to match everyone in each round of the program. However, all submitted expressions of interest are kept on file and treated as priority for future mentoring opportunities.
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
