5 Ways a Mentor Can Help a Student Succeed
January 15, 2014
Take a moment to reflect on your educational or career journey. Did you have an inspirational teacher? Or maybe you had a co-worker or a manager who took you under his or her wing and showed you the ropes? If you were lucky enough to have someone who helped you along the way, then you know firsthand the value of mentoring. January is National Mentoring Month. I’d like to encourage the Envision community of adults and students to get involved and look for mentoring/mentee opportunities. The Value of a Mentor
A mentor is an experienced friend or confidant who is there to provide guidance and support in any number of ways and situations, including academically. Many of the world’s most successful business and world leaders credit mentors as key contributors to their success. According to the National Mentoring Partnership (MENTOR), studies have proven the positive impact that mentoring has on students. This includes greater self-esteem and social-emotional development benefits – all critical for making the most of academic and career goals.
