Ryan College of Business Mentor Program

Find a Mentor

What is a mentee?

Being a mentee means taking on the role of a learner and seeking guidance, knowledge, and support from a more experienced and knowledgeable individual. You must be open to learning, seeking guidance, setting goals, receiving feedback, self-motivated, respectful & appreciative, proactive in communication, and accountable for your responsibility to your personal growth.

What will I gain from being mentored?

• Knowledge from a peer or professional
• Affirmation and Support
• Accountability
• How to set goals and achieve them
• Feedback
• Networking experience
• Empowered Independence and Ownership

Time Commitment/Meetings

• Commit to participating in the mentorship program for the full semester you choose in the application. You are expected to connect with your mentor at least three times during the semester at times that are most convenient for you. Stronger connections will be made between mentors and mentees by staying actively involved in the program for the duration of the semester.
• Check-in with your mentor in person or via Zoom, email, phone, text, FaceTime - whatever you're comfortable with.

Mentee Responsibilities

• Meet with your mentor throughout the semester and complete the Mentee Badge on the EDGE Program app powered by Suitable by engaging in required mentee activities, including meeting with your mentor and attending designated connection events. Upon completion, mentees will earn a digital badge in the Suitable app that can be displayed on LinkedIn.
• Be available! As the semester goes on, your schedule will likely get busier. Be sure to make time for your mentor. They are volunteering their time just for YOU! Take advantage of this opportunity to learn from them.
• Ask questions - let your mentor be a resource to you. UNT is a large campus, and sometimes you don't where to turn for help. That's what your mentor is here for…they've been in your shoes and can point you in the right direction.
