Mentorship (n.) - A relationship in which a more experienced person provides guidance, encouragement, and support to a less experienced person to help them succeed.
Mentorship is a key element of the university experience. By connecting students with mentors and supporting those mentors in their work, the Mentor Institute makes finding and becoming a mentor easier.
The Institute provides a strong foundation for our student mentors through a universal training curriculum and centralized resources. Additional opportunities for faculty, staff, and alumni coming soon!
