You should have no problem committing to mentor if you can:

❑ easily prioritize monthly Fri meeting without conflicts ❑ be on time to every single scheduled meeting ❑ follow through and go above and beyond the required meetings ❑ have dedication and patience to help your student open up ❑ be available to communicate via e-mail ❑ see the program through to completion

Commitment:

You should think twice before committing to mentor if you:

❑ are in the process of switching careers ❑ foresee a major life change that will restrict your time

(wedding, baby, lengthy vacation, etc.)

❑ plan to move out of San Diego in the next 9 months ❑ need to travel unexpectedly for long periods of time ❑ have a schedule that’s very unpredictable and/or inflexible ❑ already see a conflict with two or more of the meetings
