On 12th October a group of Sheffield Hallam students travelled to Sino-British College (SBC) in Shanghai to take part in the PAL Mentoring scheme. There they worked with SBC students enrolled in the BA (Hons) Business Management course, which is a degree delivered and facilitated by both Universities.
The students, Molly Hawkins, Mollie Shinwell, Lynsey Appleton and Scott Brown were selected to participate from a pool of applicants from the SHU Business School.
Mollie Shemwell says of her experience,
“I mentored fellow students at the college by facilitating their learning in seminars, advising on personal development sessions and delivering group sessions on the resources available online to help with assignments and studying.
The overall experience was extremely helpful in all aspects and I would highly recommend any student who wants to flourish in becoming more interculturally competent to invest time to undertake an opportunity like the experience I had in SBC Shanghai.”
The mentors will maintain contact with their student group and guide them through to completion of their studies. The SBC programme is part of SHU’s university-wide initiative support students at collaborative partners all over the world.
