SPECIAL THANKS TO
“I think mentors are important
and I don’t think anybody makes
it in the world without some form
of mentorship. Nobody makes it
alone. Nobody has made it alone.
And we are all mentors to people
even when we don’t know it.”
-Oprah Winfrey

2. What is mentoring?
Mentoring is a personal enhancement
strategy through which one person
facilitates the development of another
by sharing known resources, values,
skills, perspectives, attitudes, and
proficiencies.
Commitment to
mentoring
Participants in the program are
expected to attend all formal program
meetings (4) in addition to allowing
time for surveys, socials, and other
informal events. Meeting dates and
times between mentoring pairs are
determined individually at the
beginning of the mentoring
relationship. Mentors and mentees
should expect to allow two to five
hours per month for mentoring
program events and regular interaction
in the relationship.
