Program at a Glance

Following the orientation, mentors and mentees are expected to meet once per month for at least one hour for the duration of the program. Meetings can take place remotely via Skype, Zoom, phone, etc. or in person.

We will be distributing three brief (30 minute) surveys to both mentors and mentees throughout the mentoring program to help us monitor effectiveness and track outcomes.

Additional information regarding the kinds of behaviors expected for a successful mentoring relationship for both parties will be covered at the program orientation and are available as part of the mentoring toolkit.

Program Orientation

Mentees will attend a mentoring program orientation to understand program features, expectations, and how to get the most out of their assigned mentoring relationship. This orientation will take place at the Socialization Seminar in early August. 

Mentors will attend a brief virtual orientation to understand program features, expectations, and how to get the most out of their assigned mentoring relationship. An email with a link to watch orientation will be sent to selected mentors.

Mentoring Toolkits

A content-rich website with resources to support both mentors and mentees can be found under "Toolkits and Resources." Resources include articles of interest, training materials, sample mentoring plans, and sample mentoring contracts.
