Each mentoring pair then designs a program to meet the established goals. This flexibility, an appreciated benefit of the program, allows for mentoring relationships that may last only a short time, as well as full-year relationships. Following the initial commitment, at the choice of the pairs, a relationship may end or may move to an informal level. Your help will be sought in evaluating the program. Past pairs have carried out their plans by such means as meeting regularly for coffee, or by attending group events together or by semi-regular conversations.
Different plans work well for different people.
The formal relationship is designed to last up to one year. This use of University staff time has been approved by University Administration. If you are interested in becoming a mentee or a mentor, complete the appropriate application form, available in December, and return it to Colleen McCabe, Secretary of the Academic Staff, Room 270 Bascom.
