Student Mentors


2019-2020 Mentor program kickoff meeting

Student mentoring scheme is known for empowering senior students to support first-year student success and boost their motivation. Moreover, the scheme is designed for the freshmen to better adapt to new environment with the help of their senior fellows who serve on a voluntary basis. Under this scheme, mentors and mentees will form an integrated network to share their experiences and learn from each other. This interaction also helps to cultivate a strong sense of belonging to the Department, and to the University.
