The Mentorship Program was created to help foster meaningful relationships between current students and alumni, 谁能提供职业建议, a professional network and guidance on how students can maximize their MMU experience.
Mount Mercy peer mentors are focused on helping their peers have a positive student experience. They can help mentees navigate the typical challenges of first-year students and will often share their own experiences or lessons they've learned.
Staff mentors serve a similar role but are more focused on connecting mentees with the appropriate campus resources. They also provide a safe space to ask questions about classes, campus, and the Mount Mercy community.
A faculty advisor specializes in helping students chart a course to graduate within a specific major. They are well versed in the Mount Mercy course catalog and academic requirements, as well as what electives and domain courses align best with their interests.
在这个节目中, 导师通常不是现任员工, 教员, 或者是Mount Mercy的学生, 所以他们为他们的互动带来了不同的视角. 虽然他们可以分享自己学生经历的细节, mentors will often be more focused on helping mentees navigate challenges outside of campus, 比如确定职业机会, 评估研究生院选择, 拓展专业技能, 以及行业内的关系网.
就业服务办公室,学生服务办公室和发展办公室 & 校友 Relations review all mentor and mentee applications to facilitate a deliberate match. 匹配是基于各种各样的标准,比如职业兴趣, 学术经验, 共同的兴趣爱好, 教育背景.
Matches identified for the upcoming academic year will be notified in early August.
Because we want to ensure the best fit between our mentees and mentors, 我们可能并不总是在那个时候找到合适的伴侣. Any mentor applicants who are not immediately matched with a mentee will be held on file and considered for future mentoring opportunities. 全年都有一些以职业为重点的活动, 我们也可能会联系并要求您的参与.
而实习并不是对导师安排的期望, 在适当的情况下,这当然是可能的.
Not all mentors will be in roles with hiring authority or in industries that offer internships, 所以这要根据具体情况来安排.
The most successful mentors focus on the whole person and not just on professional identity. However, it often takes time to get to that place of trust with a new relationship.
在最初的几次会面中, you both may be more comfortable keeping your conversations focused on academic and professional success. 随着你们彼此了解的加深, expanding your discussions to include your personal goals and challenges may come naturally—this is an ideal area for students to take cues from a mentor.
If you're both interested in talking about more areas of life right from the start, 请随意分享你觉得舒服的东西.
The mentorship program is facilitated by the 学生 Services, 职业服务, and Development & 校友关系办事处.
