International House Mentors

The International House Industry Mentors Program is a new and unique activity. Established in 2005 it is designed to facilitate IH residents’ transition from university life to the ‘Real World’. The program is unique as it involves ex-residents returning to meet with current residents who are studying the same or similar degree and providing them with advice and assistance. Mentors will share experiences, provide insights into their chosen profession, answer questions and be of as much assistance as possible. The program is particularly unique as it involves professionals with extensive work experiencing serving as mentors to those who will soon be entering the particular profession. While there are many peer mentoring and academic mentoring programs very few industry mentor programs exist.

Commencing in 2006 the International House Industry Mentoring Program will include the five academic disciplines listed below. Depending on demand mentoring groups may vary in size and number and often will include more than one industry mentor per group. The first group meetings for all of the mentoring sessions for 2006 will be held on Saturday 29 April 2:30pm to 4:00pm at various locations around the College. Residents may register in the International House office to join a mentoring group. Alumni who are interested in serving as mentors are encouraged to contact the Master of the House, Dr Robert C Lundy.
