WHERE TO FROM HERE? 2018
When: 6:30 pm, Thursday July 19th
Where: 302-G20, City Campus
'Where to From Here?' was an event specifically for the mentors and mentees of the WiHN mentoring programme. Members of the WiHN executive spoke about their personal and professional experiences studying various health degrees at the University of Auckland, including medicine, pharmacy, optometry, postgraduate programmes, and more. Speakers covered how they decided on their degree, what it involved, and where their degrees took them. The event was followed by nibbles and the opportunity for mentoring groups to meet and discuss their future plans.
The purpose of the event was to provide students with more information on various health related degrees. At this stage in the year, many mentees will be looking at either changing degrees or considering other options. WiHN aimed to assist the decision making process by providing students with personal insight into various health pathways. For mentors, Where to From Here? provided them with the opportunity to support their mentees in making these decisions. Additionally, the WiHN executive discussed postgraduate opportunities in health for those already looking ahead at further study.
