Participant Expectations
In order to foster a more meaningful and enriching mentoring experience for myself and my mentor/mentee, I will strive to:
- Connect remotely or in-person (with a mask and using safe social distancing) at least once per quarter for the coming year.
- Attend the annual summer quarter Mentorship EDGE networking gathering.
Mentee Commitment
I acknowledge that my drive, goals, and commitment will determine my results.
Before meeting my mentor, I will complete the following (or create a plan to complete it.)
- Update my resume (For help visit uwb.edu/careers/resumes.)
- Update my LinkedIn profile (connect to peers, professors, customize URL, etc.)
- Write a short elevator pitch about myself and my goals that I can email my mentor.
When engaging my mentor I will:
- Be clear and thoughtful about my goals as a mentee.
- Be proactive in requesting assistance from my mentor.
- Help make the best use of our meeting time by preparing thoughtful questions in advance.
- Send a thank you note after our first meeting.
Mentor Commitment
I will use my experience, vision, network, and leadership to help my mentees on their success journey.
- I let my students know some of the ways I can/would like to help them as a mentor.
- I will let my mentee know how, and how often I can connect with them.
- For example: X hours per quarter in person/ or via email.
- (We recommend allocating about one hour per mentee per quarter, or more if mentor/mentee have the desire and availability)
- I will respond openly and enthusiastically to my student’s questions and requests, as my schedule allows.
