A message from the Director of Undergraduate Programs Dr Elizabeth Levin Dear Students Welcome and thank you for choosing to study with us at the Faculty of Business and Enterprise. This is one of the most exciting and challenging times of your life. Many of you will have left behind the comfort of school or TAFE to transition to university. At university you will need to be independent and resourceful to succeed, but university is more than just what happens in the classroom. To maximise your potential, I encourage you to become actively involved in everything that university life has to offer. I particularly encourage you to find out more about the wide array of options and possibilities that are offered as part of your degree. For example, Industry Based Learning (IBL), International study opportunities, Peer Assisted Student Support (PASS), and Academic Personal Best (APB). There are also grants and scholarship schemes to help you along the way. Swinburne staff are here to offer you a rewarding, challenging and valuable degree. Explore the options, share your successes and let us know how we can assist you. Our Student Support team has the answers to all your questions, so please do not hesitate to ask. Wishing you all the best for your undergraduate studies and looking forward to watching you graduate as career-ready professionals. Liz Levin Welcome from a fellow student Webber Shih, Student Ambassador I would like to share some important tips that ll help you while you re here at Swinburne University and also talk to you about the mentoring support program, Student Ambassadors. The most important thing here at Swinburne University is to get involved and be proactive with your learning. Joining a club or volunteering your time is a great way to start. If you are struggling with a subject, make sure you arrange time to see your lecturers and tutors outside of class to discuss the problem. One last thing, make sure you prioritise time for study, because the main battle at university is time management and once you have fallen behind, it can be very difficult to catch up. If you re not feeling confident about something, free mentor support is available from Student Ambassadors. Our role is to help you become comfortable with university life. We re students here too and you will have the opportunity each week to talk to us face to-face. You can ask us any questions that concern you and if you need extra assistance with something that we can t solve, we ll point you to the right place. You will also have opportunities to meet other business students in our events and it s a great way to meet new people and make new friends. I hope that you enjoy your time here at Swinburne University and take up the opportunities available to you. I ll see you around campus. Webber Shih 3 www.swinburne.edu.au/business
