Why be a Faculty/Staff Mentor?
MENTORSHIP BASICS
-1 Peer Mentor, 1 Faculty/Staff Mentor, 4-6 Mentees
- Groups matched based on shared academic and extra-curricular interests
-F/S Mentors spend 4-6 hours per month on Mentorship activities;Peer Mentors take lead in coordinating and planning group events!
The program lasts for the fall semester only in order to provide first-year students with support when they need it most...during their first few months on campus!

Step 1: Complete the online Mentorship application.
Step 2: Contact your assigned Peer Mentor to introduce yourself and set up a plan for communicating over the summer.
Step 3: Attend a 90 minute Faculty/Staff Mentor orientation (sessions will be held July - August 2008), and a f/s mentor-specific lunchtime training in October to give you additional tips on mentoring first year students and working with your Peer Mentor.
