Mentor Guidelines

We're so thankful you volunteered to help us with our mentoring program. Your guidance will be so helpful to new students as they try to get used to the graduate program. Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind:

1. Sometimes your mentee wants some guidance, but they're unsure about questions to ask. You can help by prompting your own questions.

2. Sometimes your mentee may seem to disappear due to distractions. You can help maintain contact by sending an occasional note to stay in touch.

3. A few ideas to talk to your mentee about: Tell them about your experiences, suggest things you didn't know then that you know now, suggest websites or other resources that they may find interesting.
