Information for Mentees
Mentees will have many opportunities to connect with alumni but must agree to a minimum of four points of contact between September and April. This provides ample time to build a meaningful relationship.
Previous student mentees have told us:
“I got to know my mentor on both a personal and professional level. [My mentor] was very open and helpful; she told me stories about her university life, and how she got into her current field. I was able to talk to her about my career plans and she gave valuable advice. I can contact her whenever I need and she is always there to answer.”
“The mentorship program was one that was very helpful to me as I am graduating soon. My mentor was helpful in providing me with after-graduation life tips and preparing myself for the real world.”
“[My mentor] really helped me build my confidence and introduced me to new careers in my area of interest.”
Students interested in this program must:
- Complete the online “Getting Started” orientation module on Enrich
- Commit to attending one of our two networking receptions (one takes place in the Fall semester, one takes place in the Winter semester)
- Commit to fostering a constructive mentor-mentee relationship
- Take initiative when communicating with their mentor
- Be approachable, understanding, and a good listener
- Respectful of the mentor’s time and experience
Applications for the 2022 – 2023 cycle will open soon.
