PhD MENTORING PROGRAM
Why
do we recommend mentoring as part of the PhD program experience?
-
 Mentors offer a support system provided by people who "have been there"
and those that are going through the experience with you.
-
Mentors
provide an opportunity for students to network, share ideas and
information, and to receive support as they progress through the
program.
During the program, activities are held that provide opportunities for
collaboration with faculty and with other students and even just some
time to have a little fun together with your cohorts. Communication with students and mentors is on-going to
extend the support needed for a positive academic experience.
The brief survey students complete at the beginning of the
program assists us in selecting a faculty member and/or external
professional resource persons who have interests and expertise that
match the students' area of focus.
We encourage you to
explore this site and review some ideas on how to deal with juggling all
you have to do to meet your educational goals. If you have tips and
tricks to share, just let us know!
