| Course Title | Mentoring the Next Generation - Voices of Experience - Online |
| Description | As you view this previously recorded webinar, you will hear the ins and outs of mentoring as a panel of experienced mentors and mentees answer questions and provide suggestions for ensuring a productive mentor-mentee relationship.
Then apply the insights you've gained to your own mentoring practices to build a more open, inclusive, and trusting relationship with your mentee(s).
This online self study training builds on the course OUT8081 and focuses on trouble-shooting challenges in a mentoring relationship. Course completion awards annual diversity training credits of 2½ hours to participants scoring 80% or higher on the final assessment.

- Describe at least one method for clarifying the scope/limits of the mentor’s role;

- Describe at least two proactive methods for addressing a mentee’s unrealistic expectations;
- Describe how other mentors have addressed long-distance challenges;
- Describe at least one method for correcting a misunderstanding with a mentee that was due to a difference in culture;
- Identify and address instances when a mentee crosses a boundary;
