We need mentors who have professional/personal interests in providing life skills information and resources to students. Also share personal and professional life skills experience and resources to students and information in balancing family and career.

This is a new Telementor project in Family & Consumer Science. Students will learn how to balance personal and professional life by interviewing and reflecting with their mentor about specific work and family issues and topics. Also create a resource guide that students will use in order to balance their current and future work/study and personal life.
