Mentorability

Pro Tip: If you’re still looking for a mentor, your peer mentor is a great first contact! Don’t have one? Stop by the 2nd Floor of Commons to get connected.

Finding a mentor during this time can be extremely beneficial to you not only with your academics but for your mental health as well.

It is important to find someone who can help pick you up when you’re overwhelmed, but also give you the push of encouragement to finish strong.

While finding a mentor is important, what is even more important is making sure you are mentorable. Be sure to be vulnerable with your mentor and honest about where you are academically and mentally.

Always respect and value your mentor’s time and learn to be open to advice and constructive criticism.
