School of Architecture, REVA University organized an FDP titled- Mentoring the mentors from 13th to 19th August 2022. “A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.” — Bob Proctor. The practice of mentorship dates back to Antiquity where Mentor was a character in Homer’s Odyssey who gave guidance and advice to Odysseus' son. More than 2000 years later, mentoring continues to be a significant catalyst in the growth path of an individual. As teachers in higher education sector, we are constantly surrounded by young adults who look towards us for knowledge, experience and guidance.
The 5 day Faculty development programme aimed to touch upon the basic tenets of Mentoring including skills required, challenges faced and opportunities of personal growth as we set off on the journey of mentoring young minds.
