Mentors Required!


You will have seen the announcements on the group blog heralding the arrival of new first years and lots of new blogs.  This is also the moment when I begin to look for some community-minded year 2 and year 3 students* who might be up for a bit of online (and offline!) mentoring.  I know things get very busy for all of you, but I'm hoping I can find some volunteers who might agree to mentor the new first years intensively for the first five weeks of term - from the launch of their first brief to the red letter day of their first final crit.  It's about getting them up-to-speed, trouble-shooting and taking good care of their highs and lows. In short, it's about remembering how it was for you and being a force for good.  Let's see if we can speed up the trudge of all those learning curves and get our new recruits on message asap.  I'm looking for between 10 - 15 mentors, so spread the word.  If you're interested, drop me an email and we'll get the ball rolling. 

*It goes without saying that any recent alumni looking to enrich their cvs with 'online digital tutoring' experience are welcome too.  There's a Linkedin endorsement in it for you - and my undying gratitude + a place in heaven :)

    1. And you'd be a brilliant one too, Andi - much appreciated. And you might be interested in the other thing I'm about to post re. 'Guest Bloggers' - so watch this space - and as for all that time on your hands, it won't always be like that, I promise. Keep on trucking, keep looking for experiences. 'Online Digital Tutor' has a professional-sounding ring about it, doesn't it? I'll email you the first year 'Cinematic Spaces' brief so you can see what they're up to.
