Update

Katherine, Elaine and I met 7/24 to discuss our upcoming speed mentor event and other Alumni Society events. We are working on getting volunteers, updating the manual and application, and publicizing the event. If you know of any professional organizations with lots of CMCIS alumni, we would love the chance to publicize the Mentor Program.

Elaine informed Katherine and me that we will have to change the event date as there is a conflict with 9/13. We are looking to reschedule for the 11th or 12th.

I have added a section to the manual here on conversation starters between mentors and mentees. As always, please add your comments and suggestions!

Manual pages added

I have added a page with the sections of the Mentor Program manual here .  Please make comments, suggestions, additions, etc.  This manual, when finished, will be added to the Alumni Society website and distributed to the participants of the Mentor Program, both alumni mentors and student mentees.  We are also working on an online application for participants, with questions designed so that we can best match mentor pairs.

Welcome CMCIS Alumni Volunteers

Welcome volunteers to the Mentor Program blog!!

This blog is designed to allow the Mentoring Task Force of the USC CMCIS Alumni Society to have a permanent online place to communicate and share ideas. I am going to post pages with the (very unfinished) draft of the Mentor Program manual and hopefully someone (or some-many) will have comments, suggestions, added sections for the manual.

I will also be posting information about the upcoming Speed Mentoring event we have planned in September. If you are a great event planner, we would love volunteers to help make this a fun, exciting, and productive event.
