Struggling student summit Students experiencing academic difficulties will be the focus of a summit to be hosted by the Monash Transition Program from 3 pm to 5 pm on 30 July in South One Theatre on the Clayton campus. The Struggling Student Summit will provide staff with an opportunity to discuss current and proposed strategies to identify, contact and support students. It will be particularly relevant to student advisers, counsellors and administrative staff who work with undergraduate students and academic staff teaching undergraduate subjects. The Monash Transition Program aims to make student attrition, student failure and student welfare a major focus of its activities in 2000 and beyond. The summit is seen as a way of opening up discussion on what is being done and what can be done.
