What is a mentee?
A mentee is an individual (in our case, a student) who is seeking to grow and develop by gaining information and/or experiences through a relationship with a mentor.

- The chance to try out ideas, question a professional in your field and explore career goals in a non-threatening way

- Emerging from the process with a clearer sense of yourself and where you are going
- Meeting a possible employer early in your school career
