新聞與傳播學院2015年度學長計劃

目標

中大新聞與傳播學院舉辦新一屆的學長計劃，希望透過學長與同學之間的互動溝通，讓學長擔當模範、導師、兄姊和朋友等角色，與同學分享心得，讓同學在個人心智、職業選擇、人生態度和學業等方面有所成長，並從而建立良好師友關係。

學長計劃於2007年1月首辦，學長及學員均讚賞學長計劃能促進校友與本科生的溝通，而透過學長的成功之道及經驗分享，同學獲益良多。

學院邀請表現傑出的校友擔任學長，他們在業界擁有豐富經驗，必能為同學提供寶貴指引或意見。而學員為本科生，一名學長可領導一至三名學員。

School of Journalism and Communication
Mentorship Program 2015

 

Objectives

The Mentorship Program is jointly organized by the School of Journalism and Communication and its Alumni Association. Through the mentor-mentee connections, students are given special opportunities to closely associate with the working professionals (mentors) who act as their role models, advisors, brothers/sisters and friends. Students can make good use of the program to learn and fully develop their mentality, virtue and potentials to excel in their academic/future professional endeavor. We also hope that the Mentorship Program can establish a long-term and mutually-beneficial relationship between mentors and mentees.

The Mentorship Program was first launched in 2007. Both mentors and mentees commented that the Mentorship Program had created a magnificent platform for them to interact and share their life values and experience in their career. The Program was a fruitful collaboration among students, alumni and the School.
Mentors are appointed on an honorary basis. They are professional and experienced alumni working in various industries, such as electronic and print media, public relations, advertising, media management, and the government. Each mentor normally takes care of one to three mentees. The mentorship Program is basically for the undergraduate students.

Benefits of Mentees

  1. Have clearer pictures on the real practice of the profession
  2. Obtain insights and advice on future career development
  3. Be enlightened on life wisdom, values and goals
  4. Gain a wider exposure and interpersonal network

Benefits of Mentors

  1. Maintain better connections with the School of Journalism and Communication
  2. Gain inspirations from younger students
  3. Establish a wider interpersonal network with the youth
  4. Gain satisfaction from nurturing the youth

Activities

  1. Mentors and mentees should attend the Mentorship Program Launching Party cum First Mentor-Mentee Meeting in late November. The School will send invitations to you later.
  2. Mentees should actively invite mentors to attend the University/School/Alumni Association’s activities together, e.g. alumni dinner, homecoming activities, seminars and workshops.
  3. It is recommended that mentors and mentees should meet at least THREE times during the whole mentoring period. Mentees are encouraged to take initiatives to organize gatherings and invite mentors to attend.
  4. The gatherings can be lunch, dinners, happy hours, workplace visits, or University campus visits.

Guidelines for Mentors

  1. Keep contact with mentees through emails, phone calls and gatherings.
  2. Be a good listener, give support and encouragement to mentees.
  3. Be approachable. Let mentees know when the best time to contact you is.
  4. Respect the privacy of your mentees by keeping their personal issues confidential.
  5. Any preaching of religion or persuasion of political stance should be avoided.

  7. Share lunch/dinner bills with your mentees.

Guidelines for Mentees

  4. Come up with some topics for discussion in advance of each meeting.
  5. Keep a record of the advice given by your mentors.

Matching Rules

Students who apply for the Mentorship Program have to submit information on personal details, planned career path, their expectations and hobbies. Mentors also express their expectations on the Program and their mentees. The School will base on the information provided to do the matching. All the information collected is kept confidential and will be used only for the mentor-mentee matching process. Mentees’ personal particulars will be sent to mentors to facilitate future contact.
