There’s nothing better than hearing from other students who have been on the same journey – that’s why at AUT you can get support and advice from our many student ambassadors, navigators, peer advisors and RUOK advisors who are all senior AUT students.
They're from various backgrounds and studying different AUT programmes, but they can all relate to your experiences as a student and offer you help and advice.
Student ambassadors are current AUT students who volunteer their time to welcome new AUT students and help them settle in during their first semester.
They also volunteer at events throughout the year.
You'll meet our student ambassadors at Orientation, giving new students a chance to talk to senior students and ask them anything, from study tips and great places to eat, to where to go if they need support.
Our peer advisors are current AUT students who work with the advisors at the Student Hub to provide solutions when you're looking for help.
They're the student ambassadors you would have met during Orientation.
Look out for RUOK advisors in teal RUOK t-shirts on campus around lunch time. They're current AUT students who you can talk to about anything that’s on your mind.
RUOK advisors are senior AUT students from different backgrounds and programmes who can relate to your experiences. Follow them on their social pages and connect with them online if you need someone to chat with.
Our Oceanian Leadership Network is an inclusive interconnected group of students from different faculties, schools and campuses across AUT who are passionate about educational achievement and focuses on students developing their own successes through leadership and service to others.
