Perhaps you remember what it was like yourself: your first day as a student in Delft, with a brand-new OWee wristband on your wrist and a head full of questions. Fortunately, there was an OWee mentor there to show you the ropes. The OWee board is currently looking for volunteers who would like to mentor a small group of first-year students from Sunday 16 August to Thursday 20 August.
As a mentor, you’ll work alongside another mentor to support a group of students who are going to be studying the same degree programme. Your main task is to answer all their questions, but you’ll also help foster a sense of community within the group.
Sharing experiences
“It’s a really rewarding experience because you get to share your own perspective on Delft,” says OWee chair Emma Groeneveld. “New students often aren’t familiar with the city or student organisations yet, so as a mentor you play an important role in helping them find their footing. In short, mentors are essential during the OWee.”
You can sign up as a pair or on your own, in which case the OWee board will help you find a fellow mentor. After the OWee, you’ll receive a stipend of €30 for your help. You can register via the OWee website.
