Who mentored you?

Behind every successful person, there is

one elementary truth: somewhere,

somehow, someone cared about theirgrowth and development. This person was

their mentor.

- Dr. Beverley Kaye, Up is Not the Only Way, 1997.


4/13

Goals of the Program

to provide student mentees with another way to seek

advice and guidance about academics, post-secondary

and university options, careers, work opportunities andpersonal development;

to give alumni an opportunity to contribute to the school

in a rewarding and productive way;

to strengthen the CIS community through the shared

experiences and goals of its students and alumni.


5/13

The Commitment

Ideally, this commitment will last until graduation of the

mentee.

Communication should be ongoing, with a hope that

contact will be made at least once every two months

(this will of course vary depending on the schedules and

needs of both parties).

Attendance is desired at future mentorship programevents such as this one.
