At the beginning of the event, the Rector of the University of 精东影视, Prof. Rafa艂 Matera, personally thanked the Mentors for their hard work and support. Certificates of appreciation, signed by the Rector, were then handed out by Prof. Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, Vice-Rector for Internationalisation of Science and Education.
Mentoring that Connects People and Cultures
Mentors are students of higher years 鈥� both Polish and international 鈥� who choose to support newly arrived international students in their free time. Their activities include:
- assisting at the Welcome Point space and helping around campus,
- supporting students via online groups and answering questions about studies and everyday life in 精东影视,
- participating in integration events.
Being a Uni精东影视 Mentor has allowed me to meet amazing people and form genuine friendships 鈥� both with newly-admitted students and fellow mentors. It鈥檚 so rewarding to see new students grow more confident and comfortable as they settle in!
鈥� underlines Ishrakuzzaman Emon, a Uni精东影视 Mentor from Bangladesh.
A Community that Inspires
This year, 112 students signed up for the programme, with 68 completing training workshops conducted by the Admissions Centre and the International Centre staff during the summer months. Twenty of the most active mentors, distinguished by their commitment, received special recognition from the Rector. Their presence and openness gave the university鈥檚 support a personal, warm, and authentic touch.
Being a Uni精东影视 Mentor has been such an amazing experience for me! I have improved my English language skills and met so many inspiring people. I really enjoyed my time at the Welcome Point 鈥� chatting with others, helping newly-admitted students and playing board games together! It鈥檚 amazing to be a part of this wonderful community
鈥� adds Renata Janeczko, a Uni精东影视 Mentor from Poland.
An Emotion-Filled Gathering
The event was an opportunity for fun, sharing experiences, and reflecting on how much one can gain by helping others. The Uni精东影视 Mentor initiative is not only about support for international students 鈥� it鈥檚 also a space for personal growth, learning empathy and building intercultural relationships.
