The Sethu Program is an initiative aimed at strengthening the culture of meaningful mentorship within our campus community. Rooted in the belief that students thrive when they have trusted academic guides, Sethu reimagines the traditional mentorship model by fostering closer, more personal, and more sustained connections between faculty and students.
Under Sethu, each faculty member is assigned a group of approximately 15 students. The objective is to create a supportive space where students can discuss academic progress, career aspirations, personal challenges, and overall well-being with a faculty mentor who is committed to their growth.
These mentor–mentee interactions are designed to be flexible and informal - conversations may happen individually or in small groups, whether during a walk across campus, over a cup of coffee, or during a casual meal. The aim is to build an environment where students feel comfortable, heard, and encouraged.
Faculty mentors are encouraged to connect with their mentees at least once every month. These meetings help track academic journeys, identify challenges early, and promote a stronger sense of belonging within the student community.
To make the program seamless and systematic, a dedicated Sethu Web Portal has been developed.
