About the Book

"Trevor's advice to me as a young student in a rapidly changing world was delivered in a clear and friendly manner along with an obvious depth of experience, knowledge and empathy. That advice has resonated with me over the years and guided my decisions at key points in my own career. I commend this book to students of today -- and tomorrow. " Professor Nigel Perkins, Head of School and Dean, School of Veterinary Science, The University of Queensland. Trevor Heath has spent more than 60 years as a student, teacher, supervisor, mentor, researcher, and Dean at 8 universities across Australia and the US. His passion for helping students led to this inspiring, helpful and unique book. Written in the form of letters, Trevor sets out practical and thoughtful tips to help young students make the transition to higher study, then navigate successfully through their studies and onto the workforce. Trevor describes the letters as 'grist for the cerebral mill' -- providing a basis for reflection and consideration. They are guided by the principle that a small amount of help at a critical point in a young person's life can have an effect out of proportion to the time and effort involved. Encouraging oneself to work towards a solution that works for them, to develop the wit and the will to solve problems, helps you to achieve objectives in your studies, profession and life. The letters are arranged in a time-based sequence, starting with entering university and ending in the workplace and beyond, although there are some detours relevant to life in general. The letters can be read however in any sequence and readers are encouraged to dip into the book at any point, without having read previous letters. This book is an invaluable addition to the library of any student starting out in higher education.
