Graduate Student Mentoring
CWRU promotes and recognizes good mentoring practices. CWRU's Graduate Student Council (GSC) offers a resource page about mentoring relationships. They have also created a Guidebook for Mentors and Mentees.
There is also a checklist for self-evaluation of the kinds of skills that mentors need to have.
