Mentor Application

The goal of New Employee Preparation Program is to assist new hires within the first two years of employment at Louisiana State University. The program is designed to assist the mentee with becoming oriented within their new position, the LSU campus, and understanding LSU culture by offering support and guidance. During the first year of implementation, the pilot program will enroll several small groups of mentees with corresponding mentors into this mentorship level.

The role of mentor is to act as both an advisor and coach to a mentee. Providing feedback, giving guidance, and sharing expertise allows the mentor to guide the mentee through personal and career development opportunities. A mentor may help with exploring careers, setting goals, developing contacts, and identifying resources. It is important to note that the role may change as the needs of the mentee change.

Mentors must:

Be employed at a full-time status (100% effort)
Have at least 5 years of service at LSU
Be in good-standing with the University
Have the ability to set goals, develop action plans, and manage multiple deadlines
Have a strong work ethic and a proven track record of accountability
Be willing to commit to monthly meetings

Supervisor approval is required for participation.
