Dear Student,
 
It is my pleasure to
welcome you to the School of Nursing’s PhD Program and to the
many activities in which you will be invited to participate. As
Coordinator of the Mentoring Program, I am pleased to offer you the
opportunity to experience the first hand benefits of a mentor
relationship.
A mentor has been
defined in many ways by persons throughout the centuries. Simply put, a
mentor is someone to whom you can turn for support, advice, testing of
ideas and identification of resources.
Please review the
section on “Mentoring” in the handbook and consider participating in the
mentorship program. I will meet with all incoming students and
continuing students as needed to determine how best to identify an
appropriate mentor to provide guidance and support on your educational
journey. I look forward to meeting each of you and to working with you
to assist you meet your goals.
Mary Lou Bond, PhD,
