Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Transition Mentor Awards

20 March 2012

The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Annual Transition Mentor Awards 2012 will take place on Friday 23 March from 5pm in the North Cloisters.

Transition Mentor Awards These Awards celebrate outstanding contributions from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê student mentors as part of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's Transition Programme.

Transition mentors are involved with guiding groups of new students through their first few months at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê. They work to promote student academic development as well as wider institutional engagement, including areas such as volunteering, Global Citizenship and the Student's Union.

Dr Marco Angelini, Transition Manager at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê, explained: "Mentors are the most important part of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Transition Programme; they support, encourage and inspire new students to make the most of their time at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê. This year, our Mentors initiated a wide range of activities, from study skills workshops to gallery visits and school outreach initiatives - they should be really proud of what they've achieved.

"The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Transition Programme is being used widely around the UK as a model for how to integrate students in university life - that's mostly through the leadership and efforts of our mentors."

Professor Anthony Smith, Vice-Provost (Education) will be presenting the students with certificates and special awards. There will also be a drinks reception, during which the student mentors can mix with staff involved in supporting student engagement.Ìý
