Dear Freshmen,
The School has arranged a mentorship scheme so that you can have a personal chat with a faculty member who will be your mentor. Through interaction, you may be able to see the university education and IT career from broader/different perspectives. This list of mentor assignment can be found via the following link:
MySoC->Academic ->Mentoring List
Please identify the mentor assigned to you from the list above and send him/her an email to request for an appointment with him/her. Usually, you can know more about your mentor by browsing his/her webpage, which can be found through the following URL template:http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~<userid>. For example, my userid is khoosc{@}comp.nus.edu.sg, and so my webpage is http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~khoosc.
This mentorship can serve many purposes. It provides you with a link to an insider who can give you more accurate information about the school and the university experience.
The mentor is able to listen to your concern, be it academic or not, and either give you his/her advice, or point you to the correct place for help. Please make an effort to meet your mentor in person by the end of next week (12 Sept 2008).
You may also wish to participate in discussion about mentorship, or to help build up a list of FAQ about mentorship. To do that, please go to the following website:

All the best to your study here.
