了解项目:
The 校友 导师hip Program pairs alumni with current student mentees in a semester-long mentoring relationship. 导师hip is a process in which an experienced individual helps another person develop goals and skills through ongoing, 支持性的对话和学习经历.
The role of the alumni mentor is to engage and participate in the process with their mentee by providing 洞察力, 指导, 以及基于个人职业经历和学术追求的支持.
The role of the student mentee is to engage and participate in the process with their mentor to gain 指导 in career development and exploration, 目标设定, 和决策.

在实习和找工作期间帮助你的学员
Chances are your students will want your assistance and advice with their internship and/or job search. 365滚球官网的学生可以使用Handbid, an online system that allows them to search the Handbid database for internships or full-time positions. 校友 can create accounts to view the same positions students can and offer feedback about postings that their students might find interesting.
Internships and job placement opportunities provided by the mentor are NOT expected to be a regular part of the Vandal 导师hip Program. 然而, if opportunities arise for a mentor to assist a student in obtaining an internship or job placement, 应遵守以下指导原则.
- 注意给学生的建议.
- Recognize that it is a big commitment to help a student obtain an internship or job.
- 如果你决定尝试打开一个机会, 彻底讨论你将代表学生采取的步骤.
- 要求定期就简历进行沟通, 面试, 并提供, 在启动流程之前.
- Recognize that the student may ultimately reject the internship or job you assisted in obtaining.
如果我感到不知所措怎么办?
This program is designed to bring meaning to both students and mentors, not add stress! 如果您对继续参与该计划有疑问或担忧, 请与Kendra Chilbert联系 kchilbert@thy111.net. 也许有一些方法可以在平衡繁忙的日程安排的同时保持活跃. 事实上, one of the benefits of this program is that mentors and mentees determine the communication structure. 我们希望与您合作，让这段经历变得有价值.
*导师可能与学员不匹配, either because of a surplus of mentors in a certain field or another reason.
