Student mentoring programs were launched at Rey Juan Carlos University in 2011, and since then, various programs for faculty members have been implemented. Recognizing that mentoring is key to personal development, the University Mentoring Office, through all its initiatives, aims to foster collaboration within the university community and the transferability of values, skills, and knowledge; promote camaraderie; facilitate the integration of new members; and cultivate an open and welcoming culture.
Today, the office has 4 programs aimed at newly admitted students and teachers, students with disabilities and innovative teachers, and actively works on pioneering programs aimed at senior students, university students for older students and PTGAS.
Over 900 mentors and mentees have already generously and voluntarily benefited from and experienced the advantages of mentoring. In recent years, the growing interest from the university community in participating in a mentoring program has made the selection and matching processes increasingly challenging. And that's because mentoring works. And we want you to be a part of it.
Mission and Objectives
The University Mentoring Office of Rey Juan Carlos University is a service open to the University Community that faithfully reflects the institution's commitment to improving comprehensive training and the transmission of knowledge and values among its members.
Its mission is to create, implement and supervise the different mentoring programs with the aim of achieving synergies between them and promoting the evolution and development of the different programs in the future, collaborating transversally with several vice-rectorates.
Specifically, it aims to:
- To raise awareness among members of the University Community about the importance of mentoring programs for the personal and professional development of both students and teachers.
- To promote a comprehensive higher education, committed to the needs of the social environment and towards achieving the transferability of the knowledge and values of the URJC.
- To foster synergies between the different mentoring programs, creating work teams that promote interrelation between them and new proposals.
- To promote the benefits of implementing mentoring programs and to provide support for their institutional recognition.
