Three students are organising a mentorship scheme for new undergraduates. Luke (Student) I really think a mentorship programme could make a huge difference for first years. When I started, I felt completely lost, and a peer guide would've helped so much. I'm passionate about creating something structured, with proper training sessions and a system that ensures mentors are genuinely helpful. Sophie (Student) I love the idea, Luke, but we've got to be realistic. What if mentors drop out or lose interest halfway through? Their commitment is crucial, and we'll need clear recruitment criteria to filter for people who are actually ready to support others. Ethan (Student) Exactly. And I'm thinking long term how do we keep this going? Programmes like this can start strong but fade if there's no sustainability plan.It's not just about matching people now, it's about making sure it still works next year, and the one after that. Luke (Student) That's why we build in feedback mechanisms. If mentees can regularly rate their experience and mentors can reflect on their role, we'll have data to guide improvements. Also, a matching algorithm could help pair students based on academic interests or even personality traits. Sophie (Student) I like that. And maybe we offer a small incentive like co curricular credits or even just recognition certificates. That might encourage mentors to stay engaged and treat it seriously, without needing huge resources. Ethan (Student) Okay, but we still need to see if this even works on a small scale first. I'd suggest a pilot version—maybe ten mentor mentee pairs and run it for one term. That way we can monitor engagement, review feedback, and spot any weak links before rolling it out widely. Luke (Student) Agreed. We'll need to hold training sessions before it launches just basic guidance on setting boundaries, listening skills, and how to refer mentees to support services when needed. That'll give mentors the confidence to do the job well. Sophie (Student) And after the term ends, we'll conduct a full evaluation anonymous feedback from both sides, plus a check on retention. If the results are positive, we can fine tune the model and expand it the following semester. Ethan (Student) Perfect. So we launch a small scale pilot with trained, selected mentors, use a smart matching system, and build in regular feedback. After the first term, we'll assess what worked and what didn't, then decide how to improve and scale it sustainably.
