I see mentoring as a key role a faculty member plays to help students navigate their way through their academic program while simultaneously juggling other life roles and responsibilities. I work with mentees by being open to hearing what they have to say, listening to their ideas, sharing my own experiences whenever they may be helpful (and saying nothing when they’re unhelpful), and seeking solutions to issues and concerns mentees bring up.
