Mentee Orientation
This is a pre-match phase which introduces students to the iMentor program, the role of the mentor-mentee, and the way the curriculum and classes support them in this work. This phase prepares students to complete their new mentee application for matching. At the end of the phase, students will be prepared to fully participate in the program and will understand the reasoning/benefits of the program.
