ATTENTION: The technical issues preventing Mentees from Requesting Mentors still persist for some users. The Higher Logic team is working to find a solution. To accommodate this delay the deadline for Mentee Enrollment has been extended to November 18.
MENTEES: please follow these instructions to send a Mentor Request if you have not done so already:
1. Navigate to the FIND A MENTOR page
2. Fill out the search criteria to your preferences
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Find Mentors"
4. Click the name of the Mentor you would like to request from the list of mentors that appear at the bottom of the page.
5. When you are on the Mentor's profile page, click the "Send Mentor Request" button.
You have now successfully requested a mentor. The next step is to wait for a Mentor to accept your request. PLEASE ONLY REQUEST 1 MENTOR AT A TIME.
MENTORS: You must check your INFORMS Connect inbox to accept Mentee requests! Be sure to check your Connect inbox periodically until you have accepted a Mentee.
NEXT STEPS:
Once you have successfully matched with a Mentor/Mentee:
1. Reach out to your Mentor/Mentee to introduce yourself.
2. Review the Mentee/Mentor FAQ
3. Mentees – complete your GOAL SETTING WORKSHEET
4. Sign up for the scheduled Fall Mentoring Kick Off Call:
a. Mentee Kick Off Call – Tuesday, November 18 – 1:00 – 1:30 PM (eastern time)
b. Mentor Kick Off Call – Tuesday, November 18 – 3:00 – 3:30 PM (eastern time)
