Leaders can be inspired to greater heights through encouraging words, challenging insights and unshakable examples through mentoring. Mentors center on where men are currently and where they want to go in the future.

Over the telephone, through e-mail and at face-to-face meetings, a mentor can help students identify areas to work on with specific action plans and timelines for success.

The venture in a mentor relationship can be significant, so just like any decision, a positive return on the investment should be a primary factor. Creating a meaningful contact requires a joint effort between the mentor and student with specific plans for accountability in the relationship.

Mentors will likely be working or have worked in a professional field similar to the member’s course of study. As the journey continues after college years, mentors should plan to maintain a lifetime relationship as partners in integrity and responsibility.
