| What
we do |
| |
 |
Mentors
are current IRM, TNM and MSLIS students who
act as a resource to new students. They are
available for questions and guidance about
academics, campus life or Syracuse in
general. The mentoring committee is
primarily concerned with providing students
information on a peer-to-peer level.

| How
to become a Mentor |
| |
 |
Join
the mentoring group by contacting the team
leader Kari Zhe-Heimerman
and expressing your interest in being a
mentor. Mentors must have a willingness to
be a resource for students, be able to
participate in a weekend course in August as
well as devote some time during the semester
to advise and build the program for future
classes.

 |
| Advising
Sessions |
| |
 |
Throughout
the school year we will be holding advising
sessions. Mentors will hold "office
hours" where interested students are
encouraged to come and discuss issues that
concern them. We will post the days, times,
and locations for these advising sessions as
soon as we have confirmed the schedule.

 |
| Activities |
| |
 |
Mentors
assisted with Spring Orientation 2001
activities. We conducted tours for the new
students and facilitated group advising
sessions. In addition, we assisted with IST
601, the required one-credit course for all
new graduate students.
