Cronkite Mentor/Coaching Program Acknowledgement

The Cronkite School Mentorship/Coaching Program requires that all mentors meet with their assigned student once a month for a minimum of 30 minutes either in-person or via phone or video call. Mentorship meetings will cover strictly professional topics, including but not limited to: resumes, cover letters, job applications, networking, interviewing, internships, the job market, the Cronkite School experience and general career advice. Cronkite coaches would provide guidance to first-year and transfer students on how to navigate ASU in general and the Cronkite School in particular. By providing my digital signature below, I acknowledge that I will meet the minimum requirements to be a part of this program. Should I fail to hold up my end of the bargain, I will be at-risk of being dropped from the mentor program.

Matches are based on the needs of the students who apply for a mentor/coach and the expertise of the mentors/coaches. I also acknowledge that I may not be matched with a Cronkite School student.
