You may be Wondering... How do I lean into my role as a Mentee?
It’s well established that having a mentor benefits students and their growth and development. It’s a fantastic way to build a relationship, learn new skills, and further your career. How can you, as a mentee, get the most out of this relationship? Step one is to take action! Put the new skills you’ve worked on with them to use in your everyday work. If you’ve asked for help writing a document, have a draft ready for them to look over. If they’ve given you something to work on, make sure you do that in time for your next session. If they’ve opened doors for you, make sure you walk through them!

You shouldn’t feel like you have to take every single piece of advice your mentor gives you without question. If you disagree with something they’ve said, tell them. It will lead to a discussion with much more value than if you simply nodded your head in agreement.
Your mentor is there to help you. They’d be doing you a disservice if they didn’t provide honest, sometimes critical feedback. They aren’t doing this to hurt you. You have to be open to being coached and stay receptive to the things your mentor tells you. Closing your mind off will hinder any progress you could be making.
As a Mentee, you have a plethora of resources available to you!
At Mentor Collective, we seek to make life-changing relationships a feature of every student’s college experience. To realize this vision, we partner with forward-thinking institutions that are committed to equity, inclusion, and relationship-centered education.
Connect with a current student who shares a familiar course of study, interests, life experience, or aspiration in ways that work for both of you—whether it’s video chatting, texting, meeting for coffee, or a combination.
Being provided the opportunity to be a mentee can feel overwhelming and intimidating, especially if you’ve never had a mentor before.
Your Mentor will participate in a robust training program that builds the foundations of successful mentorship and develops job-relevant skills.
Build meaningful connections that go beyond surface-level networking profiles by feeling empowered to determine what you want in a mentor.
