Mentor Application: Become a Mentor
Being a Mentor is an opportunity for you to share your experience, knowledge and skills with a Xavier student who is preparing to enter the professional world. You will act as a coach and guide with the intent to develop your student's personal and professional growth.
The PMP is structured and designed with the schedule of a busy professional in mind. Your available time and the student's level of need drives the nature of the Mentor-Mentee relationship. Time commitment is about an hour/month and communication/ engagement is done through the MentorPRO app. Mentors and Mentees meet in person as their schedules allow.
To ensure a positive and beneficial experience, we ask that Mentors possess:
- an amicable and nurturing personality
- strong interpersonal skills and self-reflection
- 3-5 years of professional experience post bachelor's degree
- a network to draw on as a resource to assist their Mentee.
Mentor candidates do NOT need to be graduates of Xavier University to participate.

TESTIMONIALS
As a mentor, you have the opportunity to pay it forward to the next generation and help them achieve their aspirations to impact the world in a positive way. Through developing a meaningful relationship, you will identify ways you can share your expertise and connections to set your mentee up for success, while also learning from your mentee as they share their experiences and perspective along the way. I personally have found that my mentees zeal for a meaningful life and serving others is infectious.
