What is Expected of Mentees?
The WOCA mentorship program span the length of the academic year. Therefore, we ask that all mentees to commit to being involved in the program from November 2023 through June 2024.
Your level of involvement with your mentor is entirely up to you and your mentor. Please remember that mentors have very busy schedules and that their time is valuable. During your first meeting, we encourage you and your mentor to discuss your expectations for the year with each other, including meeting/discussion frequency, meeting location, and medium for communication. WOCA shall provide more information to guide your mentorship.
Be respectful of the time commitment required of mentors and make sure to respond promptly to communications, be punctual to events, and honor all commitments.
We hope that at a minimum you will:
-
Meet in person or virtually with your mentor once per quarter
-
Participate in group events throughout the year,
-
Communicate with your mentor via email, phone, or Zoom periodically as agreed upon by you and your mentor
-
While this program is designed for one academic year, we hope your mentoring relationship continues past your first year in WOCA.
