Chris has been an exemplar mentor with UEA's buddy scheme. The scheme aims to support student settle in to every aspect of student life, and Chris embodies in every interaction with the scheme. From completing the training, Chris has a good understanding of providing peer support to a diversity of students with different cultural beliefs, norms and attitudes. As a mentor, they have provided support on a wider range of issues and tips, which has had an immeasurable impact for those students as peer support remains a cornerstone of university life. Having a proactive attitude and initiative, Chris has been consistent in his approach to volunteering. As a mentor for first year students, Chris has been efficient in confirming contact with his mentees. He has also offered to support more students as they adapted to the on-going circumstances that have affected their time at university. Volunteering can be a time intensive venture, and Chris has been able to mange his time effectively and make the most of his time at UEA whilst supporting students in uncertain times. As student Chris has shown his proactive attitude in undertaking a number of positions which have aided a sense of belonging for the wider university community. I would recommend Chris to any employer in his chosen career path.

    • The Preparing for Social Science Mentoring Programme
      • Jun 2020 - Jul 2021

      It's a pilot scheme working with local post-16 students (for example those studying A levels, BTECs or other Level-3 qualifications) to support their exploration of whether studying a social science subject is for them. Depending on what you have achieved at A-levels you can mentor students with either similar interests or who currently undergoing the same courses. I would either do: - 1:1 mentoring. Mainly online with a face-to-face student shadowing day - Support in workshops. This would involve being present in a subject taster or skills development sessions and working with small groups through the tasks set by the session lead. - Leading a subject workshop (independently or in a group) or delivering a student lifestyle presentation to younger pupils.
