Can mentors join more than one program?
“No” is the short answer. It is hard to imagine circumstances in which doubling up would be appropriate. Part of the mentor’s job, in addition to keeping in touch with a small group of students for the duration of the program, is to be an active member of a team of mentors and be accountable to and communicate with the Coordinator of that program. The time commitment would probably dictate a no to most potential mentors also the ability to focus on the separate needs of two groups, in addition to study and other commitments, is likely to be too difficult to maintain over the course of a term or semester. We also want to involve as many students as possible in mentoring so that they have the opportunity to gain valuable skills and experience which will assist them in the future.
