Alumni Mentoring Programme - Call for Mentors
The UCD School of Veterinary Medicine will run an Alumni Mentoring Programme for new Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Nursing graduates commencing in August 2022, and we are currently seeking Alumni of these programmes to act as mentors. This initiative is designed to support new graduates, and we are once again looking for your assistance in making it a success.
Programme Information
The programme aims to link new graduates with working professionals of 3 to 10 years standing who are able to offer support and advice in terms of professional and career development. After a hiatus in 2021, the Programme has been reviewed and updated for 2022/2023 and it will now run online through the UCD Alumni Network platform, with new graduates linking in with mentors on the basis of profiles provided on the platform. Information on how to register on the UCD Alumni Network will be sent to participants after registration closes.
Introductory Session
There will be a mandatory introductory session for mentors and mentees (via Zoom) on Wednesday 6 July from 7pm to 9pm. Information on the programme will be provided at this session and mentors will also have the opportunity to meet with new graduates. We ask that all those applying to the programme make sure that they are available to attend this session.
Programme Resources
Mentors will be provided with access to a range of resources prior to programme commencement. This will include information on possible discussion topics, tips for mentors and details of support services available to mentees should they need them.
