Requesting Stories (or Videos) from Mentors

We would like you, if you are comfortable (or want to challenge yourself to get out of your comfort zone), to create a short 3-5 minute clip (or written bio/story) that may include:

  1. Your name

  2. Your occupation

  3. What you love about your job/career

  4. Obstacles you overcame

  5. Level of education

  6. Roles of mentors in your life

  7. Previous positive mentoring experiences

  8. Something unique about yourself (hobby/interest)

  9. What you hope to offer and also get out of this mentoring relationship

  10. Something else you think may be interesting to share

  11. Advice on working with a challenging student


We want to be able to share the richness and diversity of mentors that are available to students in our classes that currently do not have mentors (we have more than a few). We have such a diverse field of talent from engineering, scientific/medical researchers, doctors, military personnel, trades-persons, business people, entrepreneurs, college students (grad and undergrad), lawyers, and nurses among a host of other occupations. We want to be able to kindle an interest in the students that are not matched because they think do not want or need a mentor or don't see the value in having a mentor yet.


These stories may also serve to inspire fellow mentors to let them know they have a community of support to help them along the way!



If you are unable to email your match support specialist the file due to size, you may upload the file to the following folder:

We have access to video editing software. We can edit your submission before we showcase to any students!!!
