Mature Students' Activities
Older students at Clare sometimes face different challenges from those facing younger students. I plan to create a Newsletter, organise regular social get-togethers, including a dinner and establish a mentoring scheme whereby new mature students would be mentored by a second-year plus postgraduate student.
At my suggestion, a similar mentoring scheme has been set up for first-year postgraduate students in the History Faculty. The scheme has worked well.
I also want to set up a social media platform such as Slack so that we can better communicate with each other.
As a group we are often overlooked, and I would like to build up our presence and make our time at Clare even more enjoyable.
Please email me on mcr-maturestudents@clare.cam.ac.uk and I will add you to the email distribution list for slightly older post grad Clare students. I need your email address to make this work!!
