Each mentor is expected to telephone his or her mentee at least once a month. The calls, which can be brief, are vital to the relationship between mentors and mentees. Classes and Grades -Show interest in your mentees academic progress. Professors -Share insights, ideas, and opinions on professors and their pedagogy. Insecurities -Discuss personal experiences that might shed light on what a mentee is encountering.
Family -Inquire about similarities and differences.
Social Activities -Plan to attend upcoming MMP functions, CGU events, and social activities of interest on and off The Claremont Colleges. Most importantly , mentors should not be shy about revealing their personalities and feelings to mentees . Friendships develop when mentors and mentees let down their defenses and communicate openly. The Events Mentors will occasionally miss scheduled events because of the demands of their coursework and personal responsibilities. But since every event is an excellent opportunity for mentors and mentees to become better acquainted with each other, and with other MMP participants, mentors are encouraged to attend as many events as they can.
