I design the orientation schedule at our Institution, and I would absolutely like to integrate the mentor program into the flow. I feel that by being able to informally talk to current students (like an orientation mixer) it would build excitement for the program.
I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of the best form of contact between a mentor and the student? In an informal mentoring setting, I'm trying to avoid the mentor diverting focus from their own studies to assist the new student.
Am I over-thinking this issue?
