Program Basics
Mentors sign-up by completing their professional profile. After the mentors have registered, students review the mentor's professional profiles to pick the mentor best fit for them. Students then complete the student sign-up form. After a mentor and student are paired, each will be notified of who their mentor or student is and have their first opportunity to meet at the Kick-off Reception in November.

If you cannot attend the reception, contact information and program materials will be sent to both student and mentor. Mentors and students will then be encouraged to set-up meetings on a regular basis. Various events and workshops will also take place throughout the year which mentors and students can attend together.
