MCC Mentors Guide

Welcome to the Student Services Mentoring Database

The Student Services Professional Development Committee has implemented this project to expand the opportunities for staff to provide and receive mentoring services within the college community.

Mentoring is defined as an opportunity to exchange information in a safe trusting environment for the growth of both parties.

Mentoring may be in the form of a single informational session or a series of coaching sessions.

Staff and faculty listed here have volunteered to share their expertise as a mentor, however, please respect their indication as to current availability.
