To better guide first-year students majoring in urban and rural planning after the fenliu in architecture-related fields, the Department of Urban Planning at the College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Shenzhen University, established a mentor group for the 2023-2024 spring semester. The mentor group is led by senior professors from the planning department, along with young teachers, forming six groups of three members each, with each group mentoring 4-5 students. The activities organized by the mentor group have received strong support from the Shenzhen University Education Development Foundation and the Party Committee of the College of Architecture and Urban Planning at Shenzhen University.
Over the past month, the mentor group has engaged in in-depth exchanges with students through relaxed and enjoyable formats such as lunch meetings and afternoon teas. The teachers have not only shared their academic experiences and understanding of the profession but also patiently answered various questions from students about their academic studies and future career development.
