Mentors and Mentees have ...
Here is what students who have participated in SUMS are saying…
“I really found it helpful in some ways that I wasn’t expecting. My mentor is a really supportive person. Even though I was assigned to him based on my major of study, my experience went beyond that. He helped me a lot with my application essays, while I was applying for scholarships and for colleges. We met several times, more like informal meetings. Most of the time we communicated via Facebook, and we still do. He is really supportive, and cheers me up when I get upset with all that is required of a college student. When I was confused about my portfolio, his advice helped me focus my attention and choose my pieces. It was a pleasure to participate in this program, and I am very sure that I will keep in contact with my mentor for a long time.”
“Things have been going well, and I am really happy to be in the program and it has been helpful to me. The most important aspect of the program has been having someone to talk to, who is professionally minded, and yet not directly a part of my work or private life. Just to be honest and have someone who is genuinely interested in helping me, is a great boost to my confidence, and helps me align my thoughts with my actions. My mentor is “mad cool.”
“One of my expectations had been to get help in learning how to present myself to potential employers. My mentor has worked with me on my resume and has made a few significant suggestions, which I have implemented. My mentor has given me some feedback about what is important in structuring a resume and what type of information an employer might be looking for. I look forward to more discussions with my mentor about a variety of topics that interest me regarding my major and career goals.”
