The STaR Programme is sustained by our mentors. The STaR Mentors support undergraduate students in completing their Associate Fellowship applications, and also act as reviewers (assessors) for evaluating applications that are not pertaining to their mentees. All mentors are invited to join the review panel. Being a mentor can be very rewarding as it is an opportunity to share your knowledge and experience in the field of teaching and learning with students engaged in peer teaching.
We are always happy to welcome new mentors and reviewers. Please contact the Programme Administrator if you would like to become a STaR Mentor.
