Matching is not automatic. Once that is done, the mentorship committee will help you start a meaningful relationship with your mentor. Return it to the same location. The mentorship committee, made up of alumni and students, will then either match or suggest possible matches for each student based on the student's needs and interests. The matching is not competitive.
Some mentors work with more than one student each semester.
Once the matches are made, both parties share in the responsibility of making the initial contact. Student and mentor then schedule an initial meeting to make certain that there is a good match. If the match is not a good one, contact committee chair Jack Damonte at 510.527.1627 for reassignment. Each individual student and mentor pair will define their own working relationship, when and where they meet, and what they are expecting from the experience. The CED Alumni Association Mentorship Committee sponsors one event per semester for the students and mentors.
