MAY 2018 COMMENCEMENT
Congratulations to our 65+ graduating mentees! If you will be graduating in May, you will be receiving an email invitation to the College of Human Ecology’s Honors Reception in the coming weeks.
PRE-MEETING FORMS
To help guide conversation and give you a road map for your mentoring meetings, we have developed a pre-meeting questionnaire designed to prepare mentors for their next meeting with their mentee. The use of these forms is optional. Mentors should provide this form to their mentee if they would like them to fill it out prior to a meeting. If you have any questions or need a copy of the questionnaire, please email austin33@k-state.edu.
POST MEETING SURVEYS
We encourage all of our mentors and mentees to complete the post-meeting surveys following each monthly meeting. Your responses are to be based on your most recent meeting with your mentor/mentee.
