Meet Katerina - one of the mentors

Katerina Solcova is one of the new mentors on Campus Horsens

Katerina Solcova from the Czech Republic is one of the new mentors on Campus Horsens. She is studying Architectural Technology and Construction Management.

Next to her is Johs. Simonsen. He is the coordinator of the project to train mentors.

 

Katerina says: "When you come to another country and another culture everything is new. So it’s important to have someone you can ask; someone who has been in the same situation and who knows something about what may seem overwhelming or illogical. I can help to make a difference in that situation – I really like that.


It’s important for me to provide a good service to the new students. And I can use many of my own experiences from the time I started on the programme. For instance, I get asked a lot of questions – not so much about studying – but about the city of Horsens, the culture and so on."
