Frequently Asked Questions
Program Questions
Can I be both a mentor and a mentee?
Yes, you can. You can request to be both a mentor and mentee during your initial application to the program.

Alternatively, log into your account, then apply here or contact the administrators for assistance.
How do I get connected with a mentor/mentee?
First complete your profile with information on what help you are looking for or can assist in.
Mentees will be recommended a few mentors that have experience in the areas they are looking to receive feedback. They can also browse through the list of mentors and send a meeting request to a preferred mentor. Take care not to overly limit your pool of mentors by narrowing the type of background a mentor has. Many skills are applicable across multiple disciplines. The most important facet of mentoring pairs is a personality match rather than similar professional backgrounds or interests. Check the Mentoring365 Live resources for more guidance.
Mentors will receive meeting requests from mentees and be able to accept or decline based on their availability and ability to provide mentorship. Check the Mentoring365 Live resources for more guidance.
How long will I be meeting for?
We ask our mentoring partners to meet for at least one 30-minute mentoring session during the conference. Mentors and mentees are welcome to schedule more sessions throughout the conference or join in Mentoring365 (the virtual year-round mentoring program) and connect there. Mentors should work with their mentee to determine what kind of support will be most useful—navigating the conference, general career advice, information on higher education, networking, personal encouragement, and so on.
Relationship is not going well, or I am concerned about my mentorship, what should I do?
We encourage you to contact your mentoring partner to let them know about the situation. Contact the program administrator immediately. We will provide our full support to resolve the situation in a positive and satisfactory manner.
Are there any potential risks to me or my institution?
No. It is not appropriate for mentors to engage in any business transactions with their mentees; instead, the relationship should only involve the flow of general information and advice.
