Wednesday 12th June 2002
This event was organised to acknowledge the contributions and achievements made by project participants and to give everyone involved in the project an opportunity to network and socialise.
A buffet was arranged and guests arrived about 6 p.m. This provided opportunity for informal communications to develop and for participants to sustain their network. Jill made a brief speech about the evening's forthcoming activities and thanked everyone for attending. She also assured project participants that although the project would be terminating in October, there will be a strategy for continuation of some elements of the scheme. Then John Ryan, a mentor gave a short talk about his experiences and what he had learnt about himself through taking part in mentoring. Similarly, William Percy delivered a speech about his feelings about himself and his achievements whilst on the project.
Susan O'Brien, Deputy Vice Chancellor Presented each individual with a certificate which acknowledges the achievement of mentors and mentees. Susan has supported our project since its initiation. In addition, Sue Aldridge & Francesca Francis, as members of the SSMP Steering Group gave their support to the event and all those involved.
Once certificates had been presented, students, mentors, families, friends and staff were able to utilise the remaining time for socialising. An enjoyable time was had by all; you can see for yourself on our web-site where more digital pictures show what we got up to! www.staffs.ac.uk/ssmp
