AIME
A group of Aboriginal students attended an AIME day at UNE towards the end of Term 3.
Aim - The Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience - seeks to bridge the gap and assist overcoming hurdles facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander accessing tertiary education.
Our students participated in a range of group activities and leadership workshops, with the day culminating with several of our students addressing the group on a range of issues affecting indigenous students. It was a high energy, engaging and very positive day. We look forward to many more partnership activities in the future with AIME.
