Resources

At Staffordshire University there are many services and facilities available to support students. There are also many interesting sites on the world wide web relating to mentoring and e-mentoring. On this page we have collected together links to the university support services which we feel are most relevant to e-mentoring, together with links to some useful world wide web mentoring resources. If you would like us to add a resource please email the details to m.jennings@staffs.ac.uk.
