[BNC-grads-list] [Mentoring_at_Purdue] Mentoring at Purdue Seminar - The Mentor Match

[Vollmer, Dorothy L]

Good morning everyone!
 We are only ONE week away from the next Mentoring at Purdue (M at P) seminar! The Mentor Match: Finding the Perfect Pairing is on Wednesday, September 27th from noon - 1:00pm in Pfendler Hall Room 241!
 Mentoring is increasingly being recognized by organizations as an effective strategy for helping to develop students' knowledge and skills, and empowering them to reach their greatest potential. Mentoring can also help encourage individuals and provide clear role models for ideal behaviors such as sharing knowledge and implementing an organization's vision. The pairing of two individuals is very important to any mentoring program. When people are paired correctly, mentoring can be a valuable experience. If pairings are not given much thought, mentoring can become a waste of time-or worse, a negative experience. The appropriate pairing of mentors and mentees is the first step to an empowering relationship. A valuable mentoring match has a number of components that give it strength and the power to transform an organization. Setting expectations for the relationship up front is a critical first step. Whatever your goals for mentoring, a clearly thought out process for pairing will be a significant first step in matching mentees and mentors.
 Join M at P for lunch and hear Ann Fry and Danica Kirkpatrick's point of view on finding the perfect pairing between a mentee and a mentor. They are a part of the Purdue Ag Alumni Mentoring Program, which connects students in the College of Agriculture with Purdue Ag Alumni. The program aspires to bridge the gap between current and past College of Ag Boilermakers. Through the program, they provide Ag Alumni with a meaningful way to give back to Purdue and to engage with the College of Agriculture and its talented students. The program wants to provide College of Ag students personal and career development opportunities and resources to network and connect with Ag Alumni.
 We hope to see you there!
