How can student success be promoted through the use of Peer Mentoring?
The seminar will show...”Peer mentoring Promotes Student Belonging”
“A ‘good’ open day experience is key to determining students’ choice of university”
“Peer mentoring can make all the difference between whether a student stays and succeeds or leaves in the first few weeks”
This seminar will launch the empirical research findings of a three year study into the role played by Peer Mentoring in promoting a smooth transition to university and in combating student attrition in the first year of Higher Education.
The seminar will launch valuable tools that may be utilised by colleagues wishing to set up their own Peer Mentoring Programme. Such tools will include:
• Training Package
• An Evaluation Tool
• Mapping of Peer Mentoring across the UK
Key Findings relate to:
1. Peer Mentoring & Open Days
2. The role of Peer Mentoring in offering ‘tacit’ support in learning and teaching
3. The importance of marketing Peer Mentoring Programmes
