Mentor Training
 |
| Phillip Gomez, Danny Ochoa, John Lenihan, and Lacey Bonner participate in mentor training |
During training, mentors will develop the skills necessary to communicate effectively online, solve problems, make decisions, build relationships, handle cultural diversity, and utilize the tools necessary for E-Mentoring. Mentors will:
- Encourage mentees to attend UHV events & activities
- Act as a guide & resource
- Serve as a role model
- Provide support & motivation
- Encourage mentees to seek help
Mentors may choose to invite their mentees to off-campus events. At the beginning of the program, both mentor and mentee will be required to complete a “Release and Indemnification Agreement.” UHV is not responsible for travel expenses related to mentoring conducted off campus (unless prearranged and approved by UHV).
