UNSW COUNSELLING SERVICE
“When we seek to bring out the best in others we end up bringing out the best in ourselves”
Mentoring gives you the opportunity to:
- Attend a free training workshop
- Improve your communication skills
- Increase self-confidence
- Develop organisational skills
- Give something back to the University Community
- Receive an official University certificate
As a Mentor I understand my responsibilities are:
- Attend the O’Week mentoring social event
- Organise to meet my mentees in Weeks 1, 3 & 5. If this is not possible, to provide mentoring support via email or telephone
- Attend at least one supervision session
- Attend the end of program social event in Week 7
- Complete the evaluation forms to provide feedback about my experiences of the program
- Sustain my mentoring in a positive, consistent and committed manner throughout the duration of the program
I understand my role as a mentor will involve providing social support to first year students and does not involve providing tutoring or counselling or giving academic advice.
