17. Oh really?

23. STUDENT-LED ACTIVITIES
• Sign up within hours
• Designing teaching activities

26. “I have found all the
team very
supportive”
“Leaving has been a very
difficult decision”
“I enjoyed
meeting and
integrating
with peers”

53. “I gave something back,
but I arguably gained even
more. Call me selfish, but I
learned a lot of skills I
wouldn’t have otherwise,
and I’m arguably a better
person myself now.”
“I gave a lot to other
students being a mentor,
but I gained a lot as well.
This included enhanced
communication, time
management and even an
increased desire to help
my own studies”
“We were truly made to feel ‘In Charge’
of the project, and our remit. We were
advised and guided when needed by
staff, but the project was ours. This
made the project feel more valuable to
us, as WE owned it.”
“Being a mentor means I
can give something back to
the university who gave me
a chance many years ago.
What’s rewarding is when I
can help make a student’s
time at university easier”.
