Each participating faculty mentor may have their own distinctive
mannder and way of interacting with the student-athlets, coaches
and athletic administrators. The amount and quality of time
spent with one's assigned team will vary from mentor to
mentor. It is not necessary for the mentor to be familiar
with the sport field. The mentors charge is to develop a
partnership between faculty, student-athletes and the Department of
Athletics.
"The most important role of a
faculty mentor is to provide an open door"
