Abstract
Abstract: This paper presents an overview of a Tiered Mentoring Program (TMP) introduced across three schools at Griffith University. The TMP linked students with peers and professionals via a tiered structure whereby first year students were mentored by upper level students who in turn were mentored by professionals in the students ’ field of study. Quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis revealed a wide range of benefits for students and professionals. Practical issues and strategies are outlined for individuals, academic elements, or institutions interested in implementing a similar program.
