Hello Mentors,
Thank you for wanting to help give back to fellow students in their first year in the program! Kelly and I wanted to send you out a notice as promised about what would be entailed within the mentoring program. We believe that it will be important for all of you to make this experience what you want it to be. We would however ask that you meet or talk with your mentee on the phone or in person at LEAST once a month. If you would like to spend more time with them that is fine and up to your personal discretion.
What can you expect when meeting with your mentee?
Many of the Mentees have questions about classes, faculty, practicum, and internship expectations and experiences. They may also want to just get connected with a friend in their area. The fallowing responses are what the mentees indicated in their desire to be in the mentoring program:
| · Advice, guidance, relative experience |
| · Someone to help me when I am unclear. What to do as far as school goes. |
| · Networking, Info/Advice with classes, time management, etc… |
| · direction, feedback |
| · Knowledge about classes, organizations, personal experiences while in the program |
| · Information/advice about the community counseling program. · Internships? |
| · Resource, provide info about the program |
| · Answer questions I might have, help on certain classes |
| · Someone to talk to |
| · Someone to give guidance or answer questions through emailing, phone calls, or meetings |
| · Networking for internship etc, Advice how to manage time, Just someone to talk about things when they occur. Anything! |
| · Someone to answer questions about program classes, etc. |
| · Encouragement and wisdom (recommendations for future, advice for classes, etc… |
| · I'd like to get to know someone from the school emphasis-possibly meet once now that I have more questions, then email back and forth when more questions come up. |
| · Have someone to go to for any questions I might have |
| · To be able to get perspectives on what to take for classes and how to balance and get experience and they were like??? |
| · Someone to go to if I have questions/concerns. Someone I can talk to about my personal journey through the program |
| · Getting insight on classes, applications, when to do what the ins and outs of the program, etc. Someone to ask questions |
