Peer Ambassador Leaders (PAL Program)

The PAL program is a three-tiered program which offers students the chance to engage with the
University community, support fellow students, and develop teamwork and leadership skills. First
year arts students are automatically enrolled into the program as peers.
The three levels of the program are :
● Peers are provided with invitations to social and academic support session, sent a regular
newsletter and provided with access to special publications to help with their transition into
university life. Peers can opt-in to be mentored by a more senior student while transitioning
into arts.
● Ambassadors are students who are in at least the second year of their degree. They share
their knowledge by mentoring peers and representing the faculty at key events such as open
day and orientation.
● Leaders are senior students who have completed one year of the ambassador
program. They help run organise and run the programs’ events, as well as continuing to
mentor and represent the faculty at open day and orientation.
The program is designed for undergraduate students studying for a degree or double degree
through the Faculty of Arts at Caulfield and Clayton. Visit the Arts Transition website for full details
and contacts.
