Good afternoon CWIT family,
We are currently recruiting through the summer for mentors for the 2023-2024 school year! Mentors can be students who have already participated in the program as mentors, previous mentees who are ready for a leadership role, or other members of CWIT. The responsibilities & expectations of being a mentor are here:
Responsibilities and Expectations
- Commit to being a peer mentor for one full academic year.
- Serve as a mentor to new students by demonstrating a personal interest in their adjustment to UMBC and CWIT while recognizing and accepting the new student's individuality.
- Assist mentees in setting and meeting personal and academic goals.
- Become familiar with your mentees' personal and academic interests as well as future educational and career goals.
- Maintain a friendly, but professional demeanor and relationship with mentees.
- Serve as a leader and a role model for all students by complying with UMBC's conduct and community standards
- Maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA
The compensation for being a CWIT Peer Mentor is different this year from what previous mentors may know; this school year we are offering $150 Retriever Dollars!
