Communication During the Program
This mentoring relationship is light and friendly in nature. Topics typically discussed between mentors and their students include acclimating to Regent, motivation, balancing school and personal responsibilities, goals, future plans, and networking. While the program is administered in Blackboard, mentors and their students often find that email, phone or Skype works best. The Regent Apps feature allows for easy video chat.
