Peer Support system – SOSTA (SUPPORT)

https://www.uniupo.it/en/orientation/study-support/peer-support-system-%E2%80%93-sosta-support

The SOSTA helpdesk (University Orientation and Tutoring Service) is a peer-run initiative managed by the Orientation Service to welcome and support university students.

The service:

  • welcomes high-school leavers in online meetings “Meet the University Students”, both individually and in small groups
  • supports Freshers as they begin university
  • helps resolve admin and organisational issues
  • provides information about services and opportunities available in the university
  • helps with access to tutoring, acting as an intermediary with department tutors
  • supplies a first-stop introduction for foreign students, giving them information on university organisation, opportunities and services for students, thereby helping them to integrate into university life.
  • supports disabled students and students with learning disabilities, providing details on specific services
  • promotes contact with the university Orientation Service for orientation meetings/interviews, study support, peer study collaboration (study buddy system)
