College Mentors

The College Mentor system is one of the many ways we support you to make the most of your time at Durham University. College Mentors are people local to the community, many of whom have worked at Durham University or are Durham University graduates themselves. College Mentors help first year students transition into university life, helping you to meet new people and get to know the region. They’re can signpost you to University services, introduce you to the local area and also promote the wider student experience at Durham University. Focus shifts during second and third year, as College Mentors help students set and meet goals, whether that be career related or socially related.  They look forward to helping you with any questions you may have or pointing you in the right direction for any support or advice you may need.
