Dear colleagues,
Thank you to those who have already volunteered to be a mentor for a new student this fall. We still need additional mentors, especially in the areas of Educational Administration and Evaluation Studies.

Please contact me at enger011@umn.edu if you are willing to serve as a mentor in the 2008-2009 academic year. You will be paired with a new student at the beginning of fall semester.

To aid me in pairing mentors and mentees, please provide the following information about yourself:
Name
Email address
Program track
Degree seeking (M.A., Ed.D., Ph.D., etc.)

Please respond by this Friday, August 15. If I do not have enough willing mentors at that time, I will not be able to offer the peer mentor program to new students.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Kathryn Enke
Graduate Student, Higher Education

While a graduate student in public health is preferred, many evaluation studies students may also meet the qualifications for this position.
