WALK WITH A SCHOLAR INITIATIVE

ST. ALOYSIUS COLLEGE ELTHURUTH’

REPORT FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2014 – 2015

Walk with a Scholar programme is one of the innovative programmes designed by the

Office of New Initiatives, Department of Higher Education, and Government of Kerala. The

scheme introduces the idea of mentoring and builds on the concept of mentor as a ‘Guide’ and

‘Friend’

The programme is officially inaugurated in the college by Principal rev. dr. Fr. Babu Paul

CMI on 10th

December 2014. After rigorous screening process 30 students were identified for the

poorogramme. There are 6 under graduate departments in the aided stream in the college. 5

students each from all 6 deparments were selected. Each mentor/ teacher allotted each student

from all departments as mentees. The beauty of the group formation is that each group consists

of six mentees in which every mentee comes from different disciplines under a mentor/teacher.

This provides the students to interact with students from different academic backgrounds and

helps to have an inter-disciplinary perspective in everything they do as a group.

Regular meetings of mentees are held from time to time where there is presence of all

internal mentors in the meeting. All mentors interact with mentees in a common platform and

internal mentors personally counsel each mentee from time to time. Internal mentors are asked to

focu on knowing interest and dreams of mentees and try to help them to set their goals for future

along with giving proper guidelines and suggestions to achieve those goals.

On 6th

January 2015, there was a meeting of internal mentors and mentees with the

principal to discuss the progress of the programme. The students were found to be satisfied the

way the programme is implemented.
