Mentoring is a developmental relationship in which a more experienced person provides support and guidance to a less experienced person. It can be of great benefit for new professionals just entering the market, or for those entering a new phase in their career, for example, moving into a management role. Mentoring goes beyond the traditional teacher-student relationship – effective mentors serve as advisers, coaches, teachers, sounding boards, and critics all rolled into one. Mentors give those with less experience an opportunity to improve their understanding of practices, discuss problems, and analyze and learn from mistakes in an atmosphere that is collaborative, constructive, and confidential.

The SGA Mentoring Program is an on-demand program consisting of a pool of mentors who have been approved by the SGA Mentoring Committee and have provided information with which prospective protégés can identify a mentor who meets their unique needs.

This program is reserved for SGA members only and we suggest that mentors have at least 3 years experience in the field.
