"People now expect you to have a strong online offering. The scheme used to be just face-to-face, but people now expect you to have a good online offering as well as face-to-face. I think lots of universities may want to consider that. People expect the online experience to be the same as other platforms they use in their everyday lives – and they expect it to be smooth and easy-to-use, which is what they get with sfG MentorNet.”
Julia Millette, Student Enrichment Manager, Kingston University London
“The system enables people to connect on a regular basis, to share and communicate. And for those of us administering the programme, we have good information about the activities that they have been involved in, who’s connected with whom and are able to help them with questions they may have about how to find a mentor or mentee and support the introduction and on-going work together. So it has worked very well for us.”
Ken Schoppmann, Executive Director, ABRF

Mentoring at university offers various benefits, including academic support, career guidance, skill development, and enhanced networking opportunities.
It helps students navigate the complexities of university life, gain insights into their chosen fields, and build valuable connections that can positively impact their educational and professional paths.
To find a mentor at a university, explore formal mentorship programmes offered by the institution, attend networking events, join relevant clubs or organisations, and approach faculty members or professionals in your field of interest.
Establishing clear goals and demonstrating genuine interest in learning from a mentor can facilitate successful mentorship connections.
sfG MentorNet offers a mentoring software that includes the feature of matching up mentors and mentees. Check it out here.
Choosing an academic mentor involves considering their expertise, availability, and alignment with your academic and career goals. Depending on the approach taken by your university, you can either approach an academic mentor yourself, or one may be assigned to you as part of your course.
Either way, always make sure you research potential mentors, attend their classes or seminars, and seek recommendations.
Schedule meetings to discuss expectations and ensure there is a mutual understanding of how the mentorship will contribute to your academic and professional growth.
