Mentoring students for a successful future has been practiced by the teachers, academics, and adults in the past as well. As today&#8217;s\u2019 educational needs are more sophisticated, academic mentoring has started developing as a separate scientific field, in which a \u2018Senior Academic Colleague\u2019 advises and assists the \u2018Mentee\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The assistance can be identified as \u2018early people development\u2019 and \u2018career mentoring\u2019 which are ways of passing on knowledge and information, sharing wisdom and experience and o\ufb00ering advice and helping in a con\ufb01dential manner. Mentoring is a career management tool used by university students to support their career development.This service is provided to the \u2018mentee\u2019 within the first three years of his\/her academic studies under three different segments, namely \u2018advising\u2019, \u2018coaching\u2019 and \u2018guiding\u2019. Based on the above objectives and requirements, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has decided to establish a new Academic Mentoring Committee to advise and guide students in achieving their academic and professional objectives more successfully and effectively.[\/vc_cta][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Aims of the Academic Mentoring Programe&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Bitter%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#e7f3f7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Helping Mentees to build self confidence<\/li>\n<li>Sharing knowledge, skills and experience<\/li>\n<li>Enhancing student networking<\/li>\n<li>Helping with career planning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_cta][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Membership&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Bitter%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#e7f3f7&#8243;]The Board of Members of the Academic Mentoring Committee is appointed for three calendar years, commencing from the 1<sup>st <\/sup>of September 2019, by the Dean, FHSS, upon the nominations and recommendations of the Faculty Board of FHSS, and with the approval of the Senate of the USJP.
