Mentoring Program
All first year students have a staff mentor with whom they meet individually throughout the year. Later year students may request a mentor.
This mentoring process is a crucial component of the College's commitment to developing the whole individual within a large and liberal framework.
Through the mentoring program, each student at the College is matched with a person responsible for their overall welfare and personal development. By meeting individually with their mentor two to four times each semester, the student can receive advice on study skills, time management, pastoral advice, and, for students in later years of study, support in choosing a career.
Mentors can be members of the academic or administrative staff, or the chaplaincy team, but all share a commitment to the education and personal development of each student in the Trinity community.
Mentoring offers Trinity students a forum for critical self-reflection, for an intellectual evaluation of the world around them, prerequisites for embarking on a life of self-transformation, and of service – cornerstones of the Trinity philosophy.
The Director of Mentoring is Dr Sally Dalton-Brown, who also oversees the professional mentoring and volunteer programs in the residential College.
