CEO Corner: I'm a Mentor! (Or Maybe it ain't that Easy)
"When Rensselaer asked us faculty to become mentors," he said, "I signed up for it immediately. But you know what? Without getting into details, I believe I failed as a mentor. I wish I knew about your program then. I learned you can't just declare yourself a mentor. It's a serious skill that requires training."

The Value of a Mentor
Looking for a boost in your job search or working life? Find yourself a mentor – or let one find you. A mentor is a person who can guide you, help you, take you under his or her wing, and nurture your career quest.
