Peer Mentoring Program 2020
|
To help new students adapt to university life, the College has been co-hosting the Peer Mentoring Program organised by the Independent Learning Centre (ILC) since its launch in 2014. Each peer mentee receives individual support from a peer mentor, an upper-year student matched by major subjects and trained by the ILC.
In Term 1, 2020–21, 21 first-year students joined the Program as mentees and they were matched with 10 mentors, most of whom were themselves former mentees in the Program.An online training session was hosted for the peer mentees by Dr Yvonne LOONG, Senior Lecturer of the ILC, on 24 September 2020, while mentors attended a series of online training sessions organised by the ILC in September and October 2020. Under the pandemic, peer mentors and mentees were encouraged to communicate with each other regularly via different online platforms, and were monitored and supported by the ILC. Peer mentors who completed the Program were each awarded a certificate.For more details about the Program, please refer to Page 30 of the Report of the Master 2020.
