This fall, the SBA will be starting a yearlong mentoring program for incoming 1Ls. Next year's 2Ls, 3Ls, and 4Ls can volunteer to be paired with groups of incoming 1Ls. The goal of this program is to help the new students get comfortable with the law school community and to have someone to discuss any challenges they may face throughout the year.
As such, many of the duties required of the mentor will be maintaining contact with your mentees throughout the school year in order to discuss any issues the mentees may be having as well as hosting social and other informal events to foster your relationship with them.
We are looking for students who are serious about participating in the program and are capable of making a commitment for the 2011-2012 academic year. A detailed description of what is expected from potential mentors as well as a proposed timeline of a mentor’s interactions with his or her mentees has been emailed to your QU email account. The Mentor Questionnaire has also been emailed, or it is available under "Useful Documents" on this webpage.
If you are interested, please return a completed questionnaire by May 30, 2011. You may hand in a hard copy of the student mentor questionnnaire to the SBA office or you may email a copy to quslsba@gmail.com. If you are chosen to be a mentor in the program, you will be contacted by the program's Selection Committeee sometime around mid to end of July with a list of your mentees. If you have any questions about the program please contact Joshua Nadreau at joshua.nadreau@quinnipiac.edu.
