A SIGN mentor is a later year student who acts as a facilitator for a small group of new students. The mentor helps new students adapt to University life, access campus resources and shares their 'implicit' or 'subconscious' knowledge about the ANU. They also facilitate meeting other students - by meeting up with other mentor groups, letting them know about clubs & societies and so on.
A SIGN mentor receives :
-
Training and experience
-
A certificate from the University
-
Networking opportunities
-
Knowledge about campus facilities and services
-
The chance to meet new people
-
The satisfaction of helping others
SIGN runs for the first 6-8 weeks of each semester, and the likely level of interaction with a Mentor's group of new students would average about 2-3 hours per week. This would likely be more in the first few weeks, slowly easing off in the last weeks of the program.
