Mentorship Program Guidelines

Commitment to the Program 

• Assignments are made on a semester basis (i.e. Jan / Feb. – June and Aug. – Dec.) but there are opportunities to connect at any time depending on the interest and availability of mentors/mentees.
• All participants should discuss the expectation of privacy regarding their conversations.
• There will be a kick-off call for all mentors and mentees. This call will outline programming and suggested meeting times.
• It will be up to the mentor/mentee to determine the schedule that works best for them to connect.
• We encourage connection with your mentor/mentee once a month
