Come out to Atlas 1 on Fri 12 July 12:30 for pizza and to learn about what the Mentors will be doing next year and why you should be part of the team!

During the transition in the academic staff leadership of the PGR program, the Mentors program has been a bit neglected. Your Mentors have done a bang up job keeping things going (organising the welcome dinner and other social occasions) and we want to build on that foundation!

As a mentor you will:

1. Work directly with the academic leadership (most often with Bijan) to improve the PGR program.
2. Provide support for fellow students.
3. Help identify issues and opportunities affecting PGR students.
4. Design and execute social and academic events.
5. Other things you come up with!

We aim for a very rational time commitment and will work for recognition, dual utility, and compensation in a variety of ways (find out more on Friday)!

Even if you don't feel like you want to be a mentor this year, please come out for pizza and a chat!
