Mentor Information

“For those who have been given much, much is expected. It's my honor and responsibility to share my experiences, successes, and failures with younger people to better prepare them for life's realities."

— Bruce Smith
Graduate Student Mentor
President and CEO, Safety Vision

Desired Outcome

The aim of this program is for students to gain firsthand professional experience in a unique setting. This opportunity will advance their professional skills to include interpersonal communication, efficiency models, networking, professional decorum, business acumen, and cultural nuances.

Time Commitment

The program includes three meetings (15-30 minutes). These meetings will take place a day of your choice, each month which helps us keep track of all the student action items. The timing, duration, platform, and topics of these meetings are decided between mentor and mentee after an email introduction.

Your attendance as a mentor is required on the following dates:

• September
• October
• November

Matching Mentees to Mentors

Placement and pairing are based on projected graduation dates. We pair you with a mentee of similar interest.  

Attendance 

Attendance is mandatory. Issues are rare, but we will address them should they arise. Contact us immediately if an issue surfaces. Dealing with challenges provides experience in how to effectively navigate difficult conversations.
