RREF Mentor/Mentee of the Year Awards

Every year RREF facilitates over 300 mentoring partnerships between graduates and contacts of the Department of Real Estate & Planning. We recognise these through an annual awarding of a Mentor and a Mentee of the Year. 

These awards are designed to recognise and reward exceptional commitment, enthusiasm and proactivity of Mentors and Mentees involved in the RREF Mentoring Programme.

Mentor of the Year:

“I am over the moon and very happy about this award. It's a great recognition of the efforts to give something back to the mentees and Henley Business School. I am very delighted about the RREF Mentoring Programme. It is a great opportunity to give something back and support students in their studies and prepare them for their working lives. I am always impressed with the commitment of the students who participate in this programme. It is a lot of fun, and I can only encourage every alumni to take part in this programme” – Bjoern Pfeiffer - Assistant Portfolio Manager, Mayfair Capital Investment Ltd

Mentee of the Year:

“The RREF mentoring programme has been an integral and invaluable part of my time at Reading and I could not thank the programme and my mentor enough for the continued support. My mentor provided me with professional and academic support, but most importantly was someone I could turn to if I needed help. The RREF did a brilliant job with matching me to a mentor with similar interests and career path, which made the programme even more beneficial. I will definitely continue to stay in touch with my mentor” – Bethan Sullivan – MSc Spatial Planning and Development
