The Mentor program supported by Stellenbosch University is based upon John C. Crosby’s definition of mentoring which is “a brain to pick, an ear to listen and a push in the right direction”.

​

At Monica, we value our mentors as tools to offer all - round support to our newcomers as we welcome them into our space. Each new Monicaner is assigned to a mentor and mentor group based on their field of study with the vision of building relationships during welcoming to help ease the transition from school to university. There will be mentor sessions throughout the year that will focus on different wellness topics from academic- to social wellness. Your mentor will be the person you can go to for questions about your degree, the residence or about your overall wellbeing – the bottom-line is that you’ll never be alone because there’ll be someone looking out for you from day one.
