Process for Becoming a Mentee

  3. Directors will match the student with a mentor based on the needs and goals of the student
  4. Once the director has found a match, they will email the mentee with the mentor CC’d and e-introduce them. This email instructs the mentee to fill out the MUGSS competency sheet and to contact the mentor.
  5. After this email is sent, it is up to the mentee to contact the mentor and stay in touch
