Students will write a 5 page paper on mentoring.  They will discuss everything they have learned about mentoring as well as:

• what is means to be a mentor
• what is a mentor
• what is a mentee
• who can be a mentor/mentee
• what benefits come to both parties
• what can the mentee/mentor do with each other
• WHY-
• Propose a mentoring program to an organization and explain why they could benefit from it.

They will also be evaluated on an oral presentation, with some incorporation of a visual aid.  A rubric for the presentation is listed below.
