Quality mentoring enhances students' chances for success. Finding a good mentor or network of mentors is important, not only because of the knowledge and skills students can learn from mentors, but also because mentoring provides professional socialization and personal support to facilitate success after graduation and beyond. The process can be a catalyst for growth and an effective way to expand your network.
