As a mentor, you can expect to:
· Make a direct and positive impact on a first-generation college student
· Learn from your mentee about their strengths and their trailblazing story as the first in their family who would complete a four-year college degree
· Support a first-generation college student with persisting in and completing college
Mentors will attend:
· the Mentoring Launch Event dinner on Tuesday, Sept. 28 from 6-7:30 p.m.
· the End-of-Year Event (April TBD).
New RHSA mentors will also attend either:
· a one-hour virtual mentoring training session (date TBD), or
· if they are unable to make that time, watch the recording of that session.
This training will be run by Senior Associate Director of Multicultural Affairs Amy Liss. (Returning mentors need not attend/view though they are welcome to do so.)
If you are interested in this opportunity, fill out the survey no later than July 27.
We will use this information to help pair you with a mentee, to shape mentor training, and to produce demographic data for reports about our program. If you have additional questions or comments, you can email Rosanna_Inirio@uml.edu or Matthew_Hurwitz@uml.edu.
