Mentors are at the heart of the Leadership Programme, and as Durham alumni and partners of Durham University, they know the unique benefits of a Durham degree.
As a mentor, you will provide personalised mentoring to a student who is part of the Leadership Academy, matched to them based upon your own experience and expertise.
