Hi, I’m Liam Nguyen, a Bachelor of Engineering (Renewable Energy) student at UNSW graduating in 2027. UNSW’s solar research is why I came here. Do you have a project I could help with, like a rooftop PV feasibility study or a battery storage cost model? I can commit 15–20 hours over three weeks and deliver a short report. Thank you for considering it!

Hi, I’m Priya Sharma, a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) student at UNSW Business School graduating in 2027. Do you have a project I could support, such as a competitor analysis or a valuation model for an ASX-listed company? I can give 15 hours over two weeks and hand over a clean spreadsheet with a one-page summary. Thanks so much for your time!

Hi, I’m Ethan Park, a Bachelor of Computer Science (AI) student at UNSW graduating in 2028. I’ve built a RAG chatbot and a few ML classifiers in class. Is there a small project on your team I could take on, like automating a manual report or testing an AI tool? I can commit 20 hours over three weeks and deliver working code with notes. Thank you!

It’s easy as 1, 2, 3

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I ask?

Literally anything to help with your academic or professional development. There are thousands of alumni, faculty, staff and friends that can help with class projects, building and growing a startup, or figuring out career options.

What is a good question?

Think of something you are genuinely stuck on: a decision, a path, a role you can’t quite picture. One specific question gets a better answer than a broad one.

Who will see my question?

We will only share your question with a very small number of relevant Alumni.

Will my questions and answers be confidential?

Your question will not be made public. It will be seen only by matched experts and a handful of administrators.
