Welcome to the MU Alumni Mentoring Programme 2022! Please use this space to introduce yourself and find out about everyone else participating in the programme.
About me: I joined the MU Experiential Learning Office in 2019 as part of the Future Ready Project, and in 2020 set up the MU Alumni Mentoring Programme as a pilot in collaboration with the Access and Development and Alumni Relations Office. Back then we had no idea how successful the programme would be, and just how much it would help MU students and Alums. Although I shouldn't say it, it is one of my favourite programmes to work on! My hope for this year is that each of you feel welcome, and that every MU student participant feels (even a little bit) more confident in their abilities by the end of the programme!]]> 2022-01-11 11:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/MU_EXPLEARING/7s6flh5upxsfyee5/wish/1985799996 MU_EXPLEARING https://padlet.com/MU_EXPLEARING/7s6flh5upxsfyee5/wish/1985958880 1.
