On Wednesday evening, the Pilbara Universities Centre held its inaugural STEPS Orientation evening.  After twelve months of planning it was with immense pleasure that the PUC welcomed its very first ‘mixed-mode’ students,  Ms Keni Burford, Ms Leanne Mott and Ms Gail Greensill into Central Queensland University’ STEPS program for 2020. 

This special event gave each student the chance to meet their tutors: Dr. Jacinta Homann and Ms Aleesha Meuleners who had recently completed intensive training and induction at both CQUniversity and Curtin University prior to being engaged as university tutors at the PUC.

During the evening PUC discussed key aspects of the STEPS programme (including tutorial format, student support services, student systems and study plans) as well as allowing students the opportunity to meet and connect with other students

Student also had the opportunity to met and listen to special guest Tymeika Stiles, a STEPS graduate (now studying a Bachelor of Business with CQUniversity) who not only spoke about her own STEPS experience but provided great study tips and inspiration to all who attended the 2020 STEPS orientation.
