With the introduction of Bachelor's degree programs, some student mentoring programs have also emerged at the TU Darmstadt. For this reason, the Center for Educational Development and Technology (HDA) initiated an exchange meeting of those responsible for student mentoring programs in 2009. At that meeting, contact persons from five different programs were present. From this meeting, the Mentoring Circle was formed, which today includes more than 30 participants from about 20 mentoring programs at the TU Darmstadt. Guests and interested parties are also always invited to the meetings. Invited guests and other interested parties contribute to the constructive exchange and further development of the many mentoring programs.
