Mentoring Compact

All SOLS graduate students and their advisors must complete a mentoring compact within the first year. This template for the mentoring compact is sent to first-year students and faculty at the beginning of the Fall semester. It outlines student and advisor commitments and facilitates a mutual understanding of the roles each person has in a mentor-mentee relationship. All SoLS graduate students must complete, sign and submit the mentoring compact to the SoLS Grad Office within one month of identifying a major advisor. For most SoLS students, this will be before Fall Break, but all students must submit the signed mentoring compact before the end of the second semester. Students and their major advisors are encouraged to revisit their mentoring compact annually.
