Mentors are at the heart of the Leadership Programme, and as Durham alumni and partners of Durham University, they know the unique benefits of a Durham degree.
As a mentor, you will provide personalised mentoring to a student who is part of the Leadership Academy, matched to them based upon your own experience and expertise. Mentors provide support to mentees across a number of key areas, including personal growth as a responsible and ethical member of the Durham University community, developing as a student leader, and preparing for a career after leaving Durham.
Mentors also provide guidance on leading a team in whatever context the student is working, whether that is a university club, society, college exec, or professional capacity, helping to develop important graduate attributes with their mentee, strengthening their skillset and employability.
Our current mentors are from many different sectors, some of which have been part of the Mentoring Programme for over 10 years.
If you would like to become a Mentor as part of the Leadership Academy at Durham University, please contact the Leadership Framework team by emailing durham.leader@durham.ac.uk
