Mentees care about their Mentors, too!
A mentor had surgery this month and let her student know they would not be able to meet for a couple weeks while she recovered. The student made a “Get Well” card for their mentor and BTO mailed it to the mentor. The mentor loved her card and the pair was excited to see each other again after their brief hiatus.
Meeting during Lunch
Lunchtime is split up into two 30-minute lunches – 1st lunch and 2nd lunch. Because of this, sometimes mentees do not have lunch as the same time as their friends. It can be a lonely time instead of a social time. A student identified that eating lunch with their mentor would be ideal, so the mentor agreed to shift their meeting time to overlap during lunch. Now the pair are eating, chatting and experiencing the ruckus of lunchtime together!
