WELCOME to all the new Ancient History students starting at Macquarie University in 2011!

We're excited about kicking off our 10th year of operation with you this year!


WHO:
The Telemachus Ancient History Mentor Program (or, as we are more informally known, Tele's Angels) was founded in 2002 by a group of second-year undergraduate students after they observed the need for greater support, resources and communication for and amongst first-year students.

The Mentors are all passionate and committed Ancient History students at various stages of their journeys through higher education, so we can easily relate to the needs of first-year students.


WHAT:
The program seeks to offer free academic and personal assistance to all first-year Ancient History students on a one-to-one basis, as well as providing networking opportunities between students and staff. Most importantly, we encourage students to become involved in the Ancient History community here at Macquarie University, and to relax and enjoy their studies!


WHERE:
This learning channel is designed to support our on-campus mentoring activities, enabling distance-education students or those who have difficulty attending our on-campus events to access Tele's Angels' services and resources and engage with our Ancient History community.


WHEN:
Check out the videos and see our website for on-campus event details.


WHY:
The transition from secondary education or the workforce to university life can be a difficult one. With this in mind, the Ancient History Department is one of the only Departments in the entire University that offers a comprehensive Mentoring Program, run BY students, FOR students.
