how to make the most of the mentoring relationship. Mentors and protégés attend two to three MAP events and meet informally at least three times per semester. Together, they create goals for the relationship and create a schedule of when to meet and how to
best communicate. Protégés also engage in a number of assessments to guide them in a discussion of potential majors and careers. MAP program staff check-in with the protégés and mentors throughout the academic year to monitor and support the relationship.</span></font><font size="2" face="Corbel"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
