EAGER STUDENTS SEEK PROFESSIONAL MENTORS
We are starting early this year with organizing the mentorship program at UW and we need your help! As always, we hope to improve the process and make this the most rewarding year yet for the mentorship program. Currently we have 43 students signed up for mentors, but only fifteen volunteers! Participation is easy. Please list your information below and send it back to me at [email protected]. Then the student representatives and I will pair you with a student by late September/early October and off you go! Name: Company: Address: Phone: Email: Professional interest/expertise: Additional languages spoken: Work on international projects? Interest in mentoring multiple mentees as a group?
Here are the basic requirements/milestones for participation: a) Introductory coffee or lunch (mentor’s treat?) b) Tour the mentor’s office c) Receive studio critiques from mentor/attend reviews d) Have student perform 1-3 hours of research directed by mentor (ideally on something that helps the mentor’s actual work, that way it’s keyed to the real world). This could be a quick recon trip to a park or material yard, or some web research on slope stabilization, or a landscape code review for a municipality. e) Trip to active job site (if possible)
