How do I get information about mentoring?
In September of each year we write to SF, JS and SS students with information on the programme. If you are interested in participating, you fill in the attached form and provide us with a CV. We hold interviews in early October to match you with a mentor. Also, keep an eye on the departmental notice boards.
