Mentoring Relationships: what is a mentor and how do you find one

As you may know a major part of your college career is building your network. There are various ways you can build professional relationships and one of those ways is with the help of a mentor. Just as a professor provides you with the educational aspect you need to succeed in college your mentor will provide you with the professional aspect.
Your mentor should be someone you trust and someone who would be able to give you advice in your relative career or field through their own experiences and contacts. One way you can find a mentor is through the Career Services Office online tool Career Connections which can be found on the Baldin-Wallace Career Network. On this website you will have the opportunity to choose from various persons who are all willing to mentor students.
Stop by the office to make an appointment with a Career Advisor to learn more about getting a mentor!
