Campuses:
The College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences Mentor Program is designed to improve students' educational experience. The program allows students to meet one-on-one with someone working in their area of interest and gain professional and personal guidance.
The student you will mentor will look to you to enhance his or her educational experience. You can serve as a resource and take an active role in shaping a future graduate of the College by offering your student encouragement, support, and the benefit of your experience.
In order to be eligible as a mentor in the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, you must be able to meet with your student at least once a month for 2-4 hours throughout the program to help the student achieve his/her goals.
You do not have to fulfill every possible function of a mentor to be effective, but let your protege know where you are willing to help and what kind of information or support you can give that you believe will be particularly helpful. In order to be effective:
Please apply for the Mentor Program, we are currently accepting mentor applications. The application deadline for the 2011-2012 school year is September 28.
Matches are based on the available students in your area of expertise, your preference for working with upper or lower division students, and the date applications are received. We make every attempt at matching the student’s major and interests with the mentor’s area of expertise whenever possible. You will be notified of your match prior to the Orientation Kick-Off event.
While CFANS has had excellent success with the mentor program, there is the chance that problems may occur. If you have difficulty reaching your student or encounter any problems in the program, immediately contact Holly Klinger at 612-624-0822.
