You must be a current Baker School student. All class years, freshman through graduate students, are eligible to apply.

All mentors are expected to:  

• Advise their mentees on their college journey and post-graduate plans. 

• Be open to answering questions their mentees ask them. 

• Create a meeting schedule with their mentee that works for both parties. 

• Meet with their mentees at least twice a semester. Virtual meetings or phone calls are perfectly acceptable and most likely the only option for many people. 

Attempt to establish a connection with their mentees that extends beyond the official one-year mentorship. 

Mentors and mentees should meet twice a semester, at minimum. Meetings can be over the phone, via Zoom/Teams, or in person. 

While we cannot guarantee that your mentor will work in your exact field of interest, we will work diligently to recruit mentors to ensure every student has a match.  

The Baker School Student Success team will review all mentor and mentee applications. Based on the matching questions in each application, we will pair mentees with mentors who have the most in common or share similar interests. 

Mentors and mentees should meet twice a semester, at minimum. Meetings can be over the phone, via Zoom/Teams, or in person. 

Mentees complete a virtual training on professionalism and expectations before the matching process, so expect them to create a semesterly meeting schedule that works for both parties, come prepared with questions, and communicate in a timely and professional manner.  

There is an optional pre-recorded virtual training for mentors that will be available beginning August 11^th.  Best practices in mentorship will be briefly outlined within the module. In general, mentors should provide advice and guidance on college and career paths and be willing to share connections and networks.
