Mentoring4Beginners Program Overview
The Mentoring4Beginners program at TH Köln, also known as MentoRing4Beginners, is a pilot project under the name Mentoring4Us. Its primary goal is to provide orientation and assistance for new students (Erstis) as they begin their studies, helping them to learn, grow, and become strong together.
The program is specifically designed for first-year students in Bachelor's degree programs, with experienced students serving as mentors. It offers a variety of activities to support its participants:
- Workshops: Designed to ensure a successful start to their studies. This includes the "Wissenswertes zum Studienbeginn" (Things to Know at the Start of Your Studies) workshop at Campus Gummersbach, which explains timetables and other essential tools for studying and provides advice on how to progress well. A second workshop in mid-April focuses on learning and exam preparation tips, different learning methods, time management, and overcoming procrastination.
- Chat Live Support: Provides individual support for specific questions.
- Video-Tutorials: Tutorials cover topics such as timetables, exam registration, and more.
- Consultation Hours: Offered online via Zoom and on-site during the first two weeks of lectures.
- Meeting Other Students: Facilitates opportunities for new students to get to know their peers.
The exact overall duration of the program is not explicitly stated, but workshops have specific dates. For mentees (first-year students), the program offers:
- Orientation
- Practical tips
- Guidance on study tools
- Support with learning strategies
- Opportunities to meet other students
While direct benefits for mentors are not detailed, the role implies developing leadership, communication, and support skills. The program is an excellent example of peer mentoring that eases the transition into university life and increases students' chances of success.
