Message From Leadership
Ahreum Ju, Ph.D – Associate Director of the Center for Cybersecurity Innovation
There is a saying that if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together. Mostly the degree program completion seems not a quick and easy step. It is a long journey to complete. How can you spend your time with success and pleasure? How can you overcome the situation if you find a job with struggle alone? One of the strategies is having a mentor in your academic journey. Together is better than alone to find better ways. The mentor can be your classmate (Peer mentoring), faculty (Traditional mentoring), alumni (E-mentoring), or even first-year student (Reverse mentoring). Then, people may ask how I can find a good mentor and develop a mentoring relationship well? To answer this question, reach out to them. Be brave. You may be surprised how much they respond to you. If it is not working well, you can try it one more time. If you ask for help, there are many people near you. The thing you need to do is to send an email with your brief introduction. These are tips to establish your mentorship.
1. It would help if you thought about what you want to get from the mentoring.
2. Search for a mentor that will fit your future goals.
3. Contact them.
4. Create mentoring goals.
5. Set up a meeting time and date (How often will you meet?)
6. Prepare for the mentoring meeting.
