Mentor Training

Introduction

Because you all have different experiences and interests, please pick any three modules that you feel will help you as a mentor. You may choose to go through these modules in any order. It is estimated it will take 30-45 minutes to complete each module. Upon  completion of  your three modules each semester, please complete the evaluation and submit a form to earn your certificate of completion. These are found on the Conclusion page.

The training and resources provided on this website are introductory. You are encouraged to attend Zoom meetings with the program coordinator, Dr. Loretta Donovan for personal guidance and meaningful conversation with other mentors on these and other relevant topics. Check your email or speak with your Induction Candidate for the schedule.
