All incoming freshmen and transferring
engineering students
are invited to have a mentor.
How can I find who my mentor is?
Your mentor will
typically contact you during the summer. If you forget your mentor's name,
you can contact Rachel Levine at rmlevine@engineering.
uiowa.edu
Do I need a mentor?
Having a mentor is very advantageous.
Mentors can answer any questions you might have about school or student
life in general. Your mentor can help you adjust to college life, and
be a familiar face on campus.
Can I still have a
mentor even if I didn't originally sign up?
All you would need to do is contact Rachel
Levine, and she can assign you to a mentor at any point during the
semester.
Do I need to use
engineering e-mail?
We encourage all engineering students to
use engineering e-mail, because we send all information and announcements
through e-mail. If you forgot your password or need help with the e-mail
system or a computer, you can visit the Computer
Systems and Support site or go to the CSS Main Office
(1256 SC) 319-335-5751 or contact your mentor and ask them to help you.
What kinds of things
will I do with my mentor?
We have a welcome party
at the beginning of each semester, where you will be introduced to your
mentor, other freshmen, faculty and staff members. You are not required to
meet with your mentor on a regular basis, but they can serve as a good
resource for your needs. Other
suggested activities are: getting
ice cream, attending a UI sporting event, going out for Sunday dinner,
meeting to work on homework, going bowling, seeing a movie, etc.
