Supporting student self-governance and leadership
Mentors advise student associations on planning activities and running their affairs, forming a bridge between students and their department, taking an interest in how each association works, and strengthening the bond between teachers and students.
NCU has 27 departmental student associations. Their mentors offer advice that makes activities richer and more varied, and act as a bridge to the department. Through running these activities students build the softer skills — communication, leadership, care for others — that make for well-rounded citizens. The Extracurricular Activities Section records that association mentors guide around 500 on- and off-campus activities each year, with average student participation of 30,000.

Our faculty adviser knows about all of the association's activities and offers suggestions at the right moments. We often go through our event plans in detail together, and whenever questions come up in running an event, she shares the experience of previous years and actively offers support and ways to talk things through.
Our faculty adviser knows about all of the association's activities and offers suggestions at the right moments. When an event carries more risk, the adviser talks it through with us in detail; the adviser also reaches out to discuss event content and budgets, offers help, and strongly supports us in running all kinds of activities.
