| Being a mentor is an important job that requires some time commitment. Mentors should expect to meet with their mentees in their "mentor capacity" around ten times over the course of 1.5-2 years. The total number of hours required of each mentor will vary tremendously with circumstance, but a rough estimate for the total time commitment over the full two years is 7-15 hours. Meetings at the beginning of the first year are the most important; students who expect to be out of town or very busy during that time probably should not volunteer to be mentors. First- and second-year students thank you for your time -- thanks for volunteering! | Being a mentor is an important job that requires some time commitment.
