Mentor participation in the program is from late September to mid April. The amount of time you commit to the mentoring program is determined by you and your mentees; however, we suggest that you connect with your mentees at least once a month (in person, over e-mail, or through Skype), and at minimum we need mentors to participate in four 2-hour sessions at the university in October, November, January and March (total 8 hours), and spend 15 to 20 minutes completing one telephone and two on-line surveys (total 1 hour).
