The SU is currently recruiting for voluntary peer mentors. Peer Mentors support new students in their department as they start their course. You can share your experience of the first year to answer questions and signpost appropriate support services to help students find the support they need. Mentors should maintain contact with their mentees throughout the year and departments also hold events where mentors can meet their mentees.
Why should I become a Peer Mentor?
Being a Peer Mentor is a great way to support new students and develop yourself. As a Peer Mentor, you can…
- …develop valuable skills that employers look for, including communication and listening skills, organisation and networking.
- …increase your confidence by helping others.
- …build a sense of community in your department by breaking down the barriers between year groups.
- …learn more about the support available in the University.
- …be invited to our annual celebration event.
