Become a Career Mentor
ScienceM@tters is our national award winning program targeted at undergraduate science students beyond first year who are contemplating the value of a science degree, seeking career direction, and looking for guidance from experienced science alumni.
Mentors are welcome from any profession, industry or occupation, but should hold a Bachelor of Science from Memorial University and have been working at least 1 year. Interested individuals will be placed in a queue and, depending on the pool of students, will be asked to participate accordingly.
The mentoring component is facilitated through Desire2Learn™ Memorial University’s learning management system. This mode of communication was chosen specifically so that the pool of mentors would not be limited to the St. John’s area. Potentially the mentors can be located anywhere within the province, country or even the world.
As a Mentor, you are required to:
- Commit to the program for one-two academic semesters, depending on the pool of applicants. You may be paired with more than one student.
- Actively participate in discussions with your mentee(s) using Desire2Learn™. As a guideline, mentors should be prepared to commit about 5 hours per sem ester.
