This helps the new volunteer perform more effectively and gives them more satisfaction. Mentoring really is something that can benefit everyone. As well as helping the mentee develop and advance, the mentor can also gain extra skills, understanding, and a friend from this important partnership.

For newly registered students: If you have received a post card from AU A4/6 indicating that ECI-00013 has been suspended, what this means is that they have temporarily run out of ECI materials to send out and have temporarily suspended your registration until the materials arrive for distribution. When the materials arrive, they will immediately mail them out to you and assign a new registration date consistent with the date that the materials were mailed out to you. AU A4/6 regrets any inconvenience this delay may cause and is very appreciative of your patience. PD Staff
