Departmental Peer Mentor Coordinators
A Peer Mentor Coordinator is a staff member responsible for overseeing peer mentoring arrangements within your department, school or centre. Each scheme operates slightly differently and so you will hear from your peer mentor co-ordinator about:
- how mentors are allocated to mentees
- rules about whether to meet individually, in pairs or small groups
- what you need to do if you or your mentee want to swap
- how many times you are expected to meet with or contact your mentee(s) throughout the year
- how you are expected to make contact with your mentee(s)
- 'Who's Who' in your peer mentor scheme and/or departmental support arrangements
- what requirements there might be for record keeping
- confidentiality policy and practice within your scheme
If your department, school or centre is not currently involved in the scheme and would like to join it, please email studentexperience@essex.ac.uk

Peer mentor schemes are not run through clubs or societies. However, two societies offer buddy schemes instead.
