Mentoring Your Students: Beyond Advising Nicholas Salter Faculty Development Day October 11, 2017
What is Mentoring? • I see this as: Helping our students succeed in life after Ramapo! • I focus on the “career” aspect of life after Ramapo (but I argue it’s all interrelated). • This can be “snuck” into advising meetings!
Step 1: Determine Career Options • Have students check out O*NET • www.onetonline.org • Have students interview professionals in the field • Professional contacts in your circle • Keep in touch with recent alumni
Step 3: Getting Prepared • Help your students with discipline-specific: • Resumes/CVs • Cover letters/personal statements • LinkedIn • Research experience • Applied experience • Class selection at Ramapo
Bonus: Skill Development If you have the opportunity to work one-on-one with students (such as for a research project or for an independent study), consider how you can help them develop discipline-specific skills they will need in their careers.
