For Students

The Student-Alumni Mentoring Program (StAMP) is facilitated by the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences to provide third year Arts students with the opportunity to be professionally mentored by industry representatives and Flinders alumni. The application process opens in March of each year with participants advised of the outcome of their application in late April.

Students accepted into the Program will be required to attend an induction session and welcome function in April/May.

From the program launch in April/May to the end in October/November you are expected to meet with monthly with your mentor. You will negotiate with your mentor whether these sessions will be held over the phone, or face to face, or a combination of both.

There will also be networking opportunities and student check-ins. These events provide a great opportunity to connect and network with the mentors and other students in the program.

Depending on what is discussed with your mentor, you may also need to prepare materials prior to meetings, or attend activities and events.

To be a HASS StAMP mentee you must 18 years of age or older and be enrolled in your final year or honours year of a degree in one of the following programs:

• Bachelor of Arts
• Bachelor of Creative Arts
• Bachelor of Creative Industries
• Bachelor of Tourism & Events

As part of the registration process you will need to submit a detailed application form, which articulates your aspirations and why you are applying to participate in the Program.

Within the application process both students and mentors will indicate their mentoring preferences. Students will then be matched with a suitable mentor. Mentors and students will be matched depending on each person’s skills, goals and areas of expertise.

If you have an existing relationship with a professional and would like to formalise it as a mentor/mentee relationship within the StAMP please contact the Program administrator to advise them of this.

You’ll have the opportunity to include this request in your application, however, please bear in mind that we may not have mentors who meet your exact requirements. First and foremost, this program is about developing your Pre-professional Identity and experienced mentors from a range of industries are able to mentor you on this.
