Program Overview

The Mentoring Program connects experienced professionals with less experienced individuals, fostering a developmental relationship where mentees receive support, guidance, and feedback in a collaborative, constructive, and confidential environment.

Mentoring Defined

Mentoring is a relationship where a mentor helps a mentee improve skills, discuss challenges, and learn from mistakes. Mentees benefit from enhanced understanding, personal growth, and professional development.

Commitment Required

Participants should expect:

• One and half hours/month for an in-person group session (lunch provided).
• One hour/month for individual mentor meetings, scheduled at your convenience.
• Additional time for readings, studies, and personal development.

Successful mentees typically have one or two clear goals, such as:

• Learning a new skill
• Receiving feedback on current competencies
• Clarifying career goals
• Networking, project critique, and personal reflections

Program Requirements

Mentees must attend at least four of the six sessions. A $75 fee is required to cover the cost of books, meals, and other resources. The Mentor Program Advisory Committee will offer additional support and resources to all participants.

Get Involved

Consider becoming a mentor or mentee—both roles are impactful!
