As part of our mentoring programs, we ensure that mentors and mentees have regular meetings to establish a strong support system. Mentorship meetings are held twice per semester, providing dedicated time for mentees to connect with their mentors and discuss any challenges or concerns they may be facing, whether personal or academic in nature.
These regular meetings serve as a platform for open and honest communication between mentors and mentees. Mentees can seek guidance and advice from their mentors regarding academic choices, career aspirations, personal development, and overcoming any obstacles they may encounter during their time at the university. Mentors, in turn, provide valuable insights, share their experiences, and offer encouragement to help mentees navigate their academic journey successfully.
By establishing a consistent meeting schedule, we ensure that the mentor-mentee relationship is nurtured and maintained throughout the academic year. This allows for ongoing support, feedback, and guidance to be provided to mentees, promoting their personal growth and academic achievements.
