Common FAQ’s
1. Do I have to have workstudy to participate?
No. It is preferable, but is not a stipulation.
2. Why don’t you take incoming freshmen?
Our purpose is student retention. Therefore we feel freshmen need to get accustomed to “college life”, and establish a acceptable GPA, before bringing them into the program, because of the “employment” aspect of the program.
3. How do I get a mentor?
There is a application & interviewing process, afterwhich, we first attempt to match the student with a mentor that is tied to the mentees Career interest. If that isn’t possible, we match them with a staff / Faculty member that is concerned about the success of the student.
4. Once I’m paired with a mentor, then what?
You work for the mentor, and the mentor works for you! Actually You & the mentor will meet, & discuss your availability, and what duties he/ or she wants you to perform, and then your on your way.
5. How long can I be a mentee?
As long as you are a enrolled undergraduate of Indiana State University.
