This team investigated the benefits of a university-wide mentoring program and made a series
of recommendations regarding the structure and format of such a program. Recommendations
were passed on to Divisional Head with and resulted in several UniSA Divisions taking on some

10. This is My Culture
Dianne Dahim, Amy Dangerfield, Kent Kwun, Paige Labone, James Withey
The objective of ‘This is My Culture’ was to strengthen cultural awareness and
understanding through allowing students to share their culture with their peers and
community via their artwork. Students were to be invited to produce artwork that
exemplifies their cultural background, QR codes next to the artwork would provide
further detail on the artist and the meaning of the artwork. Aspects of this proposal were
incorporated into Reconciliation Week and Multi-cultural Week events at UniSA from
2013.
