Expectations for Mentors
We believe that mentors show leadership to those they mentor by modeling lifelong applied learning. As a mentor, you are expected to demonstrate the following behaviors:
Be Available for meetings at reasonable intervals... about five or six times during the semester.
Value your student's time and fulfill your established time commitment.
Reply to emails and phone calls from your student within two business days.
Establish clear expectations regarding meetings with your mentee.
Encourage your mentee to set goals for the mentoring experience, to prepare questions, and to take initiative in your sessions together.
Communicate respectfully and responsibly with your mentee.
Evaluate your student, the program, and the experience at the conclusion of the mentorship program.
