The Student Mentoring Competence Network is part of the University of Freiburg's central student services. The mentoring measures accompany students throughout their studies, with the goal of lowering dropout rates, enhancing the attractiveness of studies and increasing student satisfaction, easing the burden on teachers, and helping students to develop their personalities and realize their full potential. Initial experiences speak for the effectiveness of our decentralized approach: The departments select their own mentees and develop, organize, and implement their own programs. The network provides central financial resources and personnel to advise the departments on designing and implementing the programs and to ensure that they adhere to interdisciplinary quality standards.
