Become a Mentor at Regent's College
Here at Regent's College we have launched Regent's College
Mentors as a way for current students to benefit from personal
developmental relationships with Alumni and Friends of the College
who have chosen to put their experience to work in nurturing a new
generation.
How much time do I need to
commit?
When you are paired with a mentee, you each
sign an agreement outlining outcomes agreed between you. We
recommend at least one face-to-face meeting with your mentee each
month, supplemented by email or telephone contact if you find that
useful. From time to time your schedule or the workload of
your mentee will mean that you need to miss a meeting. This
is fully understandable and won't impair the relationship.
The official period of mentoring lasts for a semester - though in
practice you may wish to remain in contact with your mentee long
after graduation.
What Skills or Experience do I
need?
You need no practical experience of mentoring
as full support will be given when you become a mentor. You
just need a willingness to listen, share the benefit of your
experience in work and life and help your mentee through discussion
and reflection.
What are the benefits?
Regent's College Mentors have dedicated
support within the Alumni Relations Team. A full range of
benefits for mentors includes:
- Satisfaction from supporting the Regent’s
College community through helping current students and nurturing
the leaders of tomorrow
- Professional networking opportunities with
other mentors through special events organised by Regent's College
Alumni Relations Department for Mentors and Mentees

our publications and online

"Taking part in the IBM Business challenge in 2004 -05 was a truly wonderful experience and an enriching learning curve for us all. It combines the pressure of working under time constraints while harnessing the strengths of our multi-cultural team to make an efficient group."
