If you’ve been thinking about starting study, or returning to it, 2026 is the perfect year to take the plunge. And the best part? You won’t have to do it alone. CUC Snowy Monaro has introduced a Student Engagement Program designed to give local students personalised, practical, and ongoing support. At the heart of the program are five student engagement officers (SEOs), each bringing their own unique experience as current students at CUC Snowy Monaro. Soojin, Daniel, Jasmin, Alex, and Bec understand the realities of regional study - the challenges and the perks. They know what it’s like to navigate distance education, balance study with work and family commitments, and complete assessments without the convenience of a campus around the corner. Together, the SEOs provide a range of services: from referencing support, exam preparation, and IT troubleshooting, to navigating online platforms, accessing university services, and building study plans. Most importantly, they get what it’s like to juggle study with everyday life in the Snowy Monaro. The team’s diverse academic backgrounds mean they can support students across a wide variety of fields. Soojin is studying a Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (ANU), Jasmin is completing a Bachelor of Business (CSU), Daniel is working on his Honours in Psychology (UC), Alex is studying a Bachelor of Education (Secondary STEM) (UNE), and Bec is undertaking a Bachelor of Law (CSU). The SEOs are available throughout the week to assist all registered students.
