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.
