Irene\u2019s mentors are responsible for the newcomers’ transition from school to university, in terms of their academic welfare, social well-being, etc. Mentors are senior residents chosen from different areas of study to help newcomers register, find their classes, manage their schedules, and lead a balanced life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mentors assist newcomers in the following ways:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Administration –<\/em> Newcomers are guided through registration processes during welcoming & late placements.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Mentor Sessions –<\/em> Each newcomer is assigned to a mentor, forming small mentor groups of between 6 and 9 Ireners. These mentor groups meet throughout the welcoming period until classes start, as well as regularly during the remainder of the year.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n
  3. Academic guidance –<\/em> Newcomers have the opportunity to reach out to their mentor and mentor group (who usually study the same degree\/faculty) anytime during the year if they need help or tips about modules, tests, or projects.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \u201cBe-Well\u201d is a Student Wellness Project that forms part of the wider campus mentoring programme. It focuses on six dimensions \u2013 Social, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual, and Occupational \u2013 which together provide extensive holistic support to newcomers. Research has shown that \u201cWellness can be linked to flourishing in life”, and for this reason, Irene has adopted this successful programme.<\/p>\r\n
