BOLD Buddy Scheme Mentors
Two of our BMS students joined the CityU BOLD Buddy Scheme as student mentor to help secondary school students gain insights into university education from first-hand interaction with CityU students. The scheme was kick-started in October 2021. Form Three to Five students in local secondary / international schools were paired up with CityU undergraduates to form a Buddy Team. The mentor-mentee relationship gives CityU students leadership opportunities, in which they can be role models for the secondary school students. Meanwhile, secondary school students get a more all-round understanding of university life and education...
