Mentoring Committee

At the UdeS, student success is everyone’s business and a shared responsibility. In keeping with this important value, our research students have access from the beginning of their journey to not only one mentor, but a whole mentoring committee.

This committee guides students throughout their training, particularly with regard to their academic progress, career path and personal situation, the progress of their project and research work (other than scientific content), as well as reviewing achievements and planning future steps.

Committee’s objective

Designed to support the research advisor, the mentoring committee contributes to the follow-up and supervision of students by providing regular feedback on:

  • The academic pathway.
  • The progression of the project and research work.
  • The professional development.
  • Possible academic, professional or personal issues or challenges.
  • Knowledge and skills to be developed according to training and career prospects.

By formalizing opportunities that allow students to get other perspectives, these meetings allow to exchange information, develop reflexivity, and to create a network of significant contacts that will be useful not only during studies, but also during their professional career.
