Mentee Expectations
Be Teachable
Be willing to learn new things, be responsive to suggestions and constructive criticism. Learn not only from what your mentor says but from what your mentor does. Your mentor is a role model.
Be Responsive
Respond to requests for information and feedback from your program coordinator. Occasionally, you will receive information from the program staff. This information is important and helps the program to serve you better.
Participate
As you know, throughout the year there will be a series of events and meetings that have been planned for your information and enjoyment. Please attend all events and meetings, unless you have made arrangements not to attend with the program coordinator and/or your mentor.
Mentee Pledge
I am here because I am capable
of being whatever I choose to be
I can let go of my fear of failing
And be the change that I want to see
I can give my all to prepare for my future
And work toward my dreams passionately
I can show the world that I matter
I can because I BELIEVE in ME
