Here are some FAQs to explore as you participate in the program.

Q - When I click on the Google form it asks me to login to a Google account?  Do I have to do this to complete the form?

A - There are a few ways to approach Google forms as schools and corporate accounts are set up in a variety of ways.  Try the following:

1. Cut the form url and paste it into a Chrome browser

2. If that does not work, try using incognito (private browser)

3. Use a personal email address

4. Reach out to the SOAR team if you are still unable to complete the forms.

Q - On the consent form it asks for a company name (what company) - what should I enter?

A - Leave it blank or enter NA. If you want to fill something in, feel free to enter your university/college.

Q - When I first applied to be part of this program, I was able to attend all of the required dates.  My schedule has since shifted and I can only make some of them.  What is your policy on attendance?  Do I have to attend all of the sessions to complete the program and be considered successful?

A - The expectation is to attend all posted dates.  Participants who fulfill all requirements of the program will receive a digital badge that can be shared on a digital platform.

Q  - What is the goal of the mentor conversations during the sessions?

A - The goal of the mentor conversations is to start and establish trust with the mentor/mentee and define the mentoring goals.  It is the second stage of the mentor framework.

Q  - I would like to continue to connect with my mentor/mentee, what are my options?

A - It is wonderful that you are interested in a continued relationship with your mentor/mentee!  There are a variety of options to consider:

1.  Reach out on social media

2. Set up another meeting at a mutually convenient time

3. After each of the Soar with MENTOR sessions, the Zoom breakout rooms will be kept open for 30 additional minutes for further conversations.

At the end of the program, if there is a mentor/mentee you wish to continue, we can assist with the "set up".
