University Minority Mentor ProgramOVERVIEW
The University Minority Mentor Program (UMMP), a service provided through Multicultural & Diversity Affairs (MCDA), is a valuable opportunity for first-year incoming students to enhance their collegiate experience at the University of Florida. As they prepare to navigate the university during their first year, faculty, staff and upper-division students are here to assist them on their journey. Involvement in a mentoring relationship opens up the opportunity for first year students to deepen their relationship with the University of Florida and to jump start their academic careers by gaining insight and receiving support from great mentors. Involving oneself in this mentoring program allows you, the mentor, to assist first-year students on their journey of self-discovery as they undertake the challenges related to the first year of college. UMMP is the only campus-wide mentoring program that matches a first-year student with a faculty or staff mentor to assist with the student’s transition to college. This program makes a large university campus seem small as connections are made and mentors encourage our students to complete a degree. We know there are many opportunities to take advantage of at the University of Florida, but UMMP is unique with the aim to make the transition to college easier and the goal of achieving a college degree more attainable and enjoyable.
MISSION STATEMENT
The University Minority Mentor Program (UMMP) is designed to support students in their transition to the
University of Florida. This objective is achieved through active participation in one-on-one interactions between
University Minority Mentor Program
mentors and mentees, participation in UMMP events and attendance at cultural events.
University Minority Mentor ProgramGOALS AND OBJECTIVES
UMMP STRIVES TO:
Promote personal and intellectual growth. Assist with academic and personal concerns through one-
on-one relationships. Connect students with a person who cares about them and
can help them navigate UF's climate successfully. Encourage students to take full advantage of university
resources for achieving academic success, finding employment, research and internship opportunities.
Create a professional relationship with a faculty/staff member who may serve as an academic or professional reference.
HOW UMMP WORKS: First year students admitted to UF are invited to apply to
UMMP in the summer. Mentees are assigned a mentor who they meet at the Match
and Mingle event. Mentees & mentors create a mentoring partnership
agreement, outlining goals and objectives. Mentee & mentor pairs are assigned to clusters of other
pairs and teamed up with transition ambassadors. Mentees & mentors meet and communicate often during
the student's first year and beyond at UF.

University Minority Mentor Program
HOW MENTORING WORKS
MENTORING CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THESE FIVE TYPES: Group Mentoring
This form of mentorship involves one mentor who assumes a leadership role with a group of up to four mentees and makes a commitment to meet with the group over a long period of time. This interaction takes on the form of a guided session structure which may involve personal sharing, teaching exercises, or may simply be for fun.
Team Mentoring
Team mentoring involves the participation of several mentors partaking in activities with small groups of mentees, with an adult ratio no greater than one to four.
Transition Ambassadors
In the Transition Ambassador relationship, the mentee has an opportunity to interact and receive support and encouragement from an upperclassmen peer, also known as a Transition Ambassador. Transition Ambassadors are able to provide additional social and recreational assistance and serve as positive role models to their mentees in an educational setting. This relationship usually requires that the Transition Ambassador and mentee meet frequently throughout the semester or school year.
E-Mentoring
The e-mentoring relationship consists of one mentor and mentee who communicate via internet at least once per week in a period ranging from six months to a year. This style of mentoring can require two to three face meetings, one of which is usually a kick-off event. Mentors in this regard often serve as a guide for school or career related activities and information.
One-On-One Mentoring
University Minority Mentor ProgramOne-on-one mentoring is the traditional form of mentoring relationships in which one mentor is placed with a mentee who meet regularly per month for at least a school year. The mentor in this relationship provides valuable information regarding academic and career related possibilities and guides the mentee in regards to questions and concerns they may have. The following information provides a more in depth look at one-on-one mentoring.
(MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, 2005, p. 12; Retrieved August 2013 from http://www.mentoring.org/downloads/mentoring_413.pdf)
Determine how certain aspects of the partnership will be implemented, including the following: The establishment of clear objectives, expectations, and time
lines which are realistic for and understood by both parties. A structured conversation and ideally the development of a
written contract/agreement between the mentor/mentee. The identification of key skill development areas. An ongoing evaluation process that serves both parties.
Following are suggested components for building a successful one-on-one mentoring partnership:
The mentee should be led through a productive personal assessment: identifying strengths, weaknesses, skill development needs, career expectations and objectives.
Together, the mentor and mentee should establish expectations and goals.
The mentor and mentee should develop a decision-making process for evaluating professional opportunities and expectations.
The mentor should know the norms, values, expectations and "politics" of the institution.
University Minority Mentor Program Time lines and goals for professional activity and research
accomplishments should be addressed. Both the mentor and mentee should receive feedback from
her/his counterpart in the relationship.
Characteristics of a high-quality mentoring relationship include the following:
Networking goes beyond mentor/mentee dyad; mentor actively seeks opportunities to introduce mentee to those with similar job descriptions and/or research interests.
Gender, racial/ethnic, and other differences are accepted and respected.
A mentor does not use the mentee to further the mentor’s goals. Commitment of specific amount of time per week or month, thus
the regularity of meetings is agreed upon. Both the mentor and mentee accept responsibility for fulfilling
their jointly-created "contract" to work towards a mutually beneficial relationship.
Successful mentors are respected in the academic community, able to listen effectively, provide constructive criticism and clearly articulate suggestions, understand the culture of the institution and can identify barriers to and strategies for success, are respectful of mentee’s multiple roles both personal
University Minority Mentor Programand professional, and can assist the mentee in devising realistic strategies.
EVALUATION
Discuss an evaluation process which allows for mid-course corrections and problem solving strategies for dealing with institutional barriers as well as "negative mentoring" issues. Address from the outset that the mentoring relationship will change or adapt as the mentee becomes more comfortable and involved.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN FACULTY/STAFF MENTORS AND MENTEESMany skills are vital for mentors to develop in order to perform and serve their students effectively. In most cases you will deal with issues related to academics, but as your relationship grows with your students, they may come to you with issues of a more personal nature – these issues will often have an impact on their success as a student. The most important thing to remember in any situation is that you’re not a counselor. Know your limits – sometimes the best way you can help others is by referring them to someone else with more experience.
KEYS TO SUCCESSListen
Fully participate in a conversation by being an active listener and utilizing some simple counseling skills such as reflecting, encouraging and asking questions. Be aware of how your body language can affect a conversation.
Ask open-ended questionsAny question that elicits a “yes/no” answer won’t be as helpful as a “what, when, how, who” question. “Why” questions seem like they would get more information, but keep in mind that they can sometimes imply criticism and cause defensiveness (i.e., “Well, why didn’t you go to all the study sessions?”).
Attend and respond to both content and feelingOften there are two things going on at once – there is an issue, and the person has some kind of feeling or reaction to that issue. You need to attend and respond to both. Consider this: “I’m so mad
University Minority Mentor Programabout my Chem test!” What is the content (performance on the Chem test)? What is the feeling (anger)? It’s important to attend to both. Remember that issues presented to you could have some underlying themes and might even be symptoms of a larger problem.
Let the student solve the problemIt’s easy to want to try to solve things for people, but that’s not really as helpful as it might seem. Usually, the student knows the answer or knows how to solve the problem but just needs someone to ask the right questions and encourage their processing.
Refer to/use your resourcesDon’t expect yourself to be a trained counselor. But know your resources (CAs, HDs, other Res. Life staff, your Learning Community Coordinator, Dean of Students Office, etc.) and help people make use of those individuals and services. It’s OK to say, “I don’t know” as long as you get the information for the person.
(University, Iowa State, 2005, pp. 5-6; Retrieved July 2011 from http://www.lc.iastate.edu/Peer%20Mentor0910.pdf)
LISTENING SKILLS TECHNIQUES
ParrotingParroting is repeating back the same sentence or phrase that was
just said.
ClarifyClarifying is asking the person to expand on or further explain something they mentioned.
ParaphraseParaphrasing is taking a long statement and repeating it back using only the key points and feelings.
SummarizeSummarizing is, near the end of a conversation, going back and touching on the various points you have talked about.
University Minority Mentor Program“I” Statements
“I” statements are repeating what someone says using yourself as the active party. For example, “What I’m hearing is…”
NormalizingPeople commonly fear that what they feel or think is not normal. Letting a person know that others experience similar thoughts and feelings will help them feel more comfortable.

Our First Meeting:A Planning Worksheet
Before you undertake anything significant in your life that’s new, it can be helpful to take a few minutes to do some planning.Planning is just a way to get clear on what you hope to accomplish — the ‘end’ — and then to lay out some logical steps to help get you there — the ‘means.’ This worksheet walks you through some common sense steps to plan a first meeting with your mentee.
Basic Background Information(Make sure you have all the information filled in below)My mentee’s name is: ________________________________________________________________________________Nickname (if any) _________________________________________________________________________________Phone number(s) _________________________________________________________________________________Email address _________________________________________________________________________________Best time to call/ contact ____________________________________________________________________________What would I like my mentee to call me? ________________________________________________________________
Has my mentee been told who I am and that I will be calling?__Yes __ No __ Don’t know
If the answer is “no” or “don’t know” and you are working through a formal program, please contact program staff and find out the status of this step. Calling before your mentee has heard about you can make the first conversation awkward and confusing.

Thinking Through the First Meeting
Typically, first meetings allow two people to get to know a little bit about each other, attach a face to a name and gain a bit of comfort. To do so, you need to think about what setting would feel comfortable for both of you, and plan out some conversation starters — knowing that these are tools if you need them, not a formula.
(1) WHERE MIGHT I MEET WITH MY MENTEE WHERE WE BOTH WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE?
(2) WHAT ARE SOME THINGS I COULD TELL MY MENTEE ABOUT MYSELF THAT WOULD HELP US GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER A LITTLE BIT? WHAT ABOUT ME AND MY LIFE STORY MIGHT BE INTERESTING AND RELEVANT TO THIS YOUNG PERSON?
(3) WHAT ARE SOME QUESTIONS I COULD ASK MY MENTEE TO GET TO KNOW HIM/HER A LITTLE BIT WITHOUT PRYING? (WRITE SOME POSSIBLE OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS BELOW. NOTE: THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT CANNOT BE ANSWERED WITH A ‘YES’ OR ‘NO.’)
(4) WHAT DO I WANT OUT OF THE MENTORING RELATIONSHIP — WHAT ARE MY HOPES?
(5) HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHAT MY MENTEE HOPES TO GET OUT OF THE RELATIONSHIP — WHAT QUESTIONS MIGHT I ASK?
University Minority Mentor ProgramWe recommend you look over your answers to this planning sheet shortly before your first meeting with your mentee. You might even bring it along to offer it as a bit of a roadmap for you both to follow.

GENERATIONAL LANGUAGE
Sometimes you may feel that your mentee is talking a foreign language. Just as you had certain slang phrases when you were young, so will your mentee. On this page, keep a “dictionary” of the current “in” terms that mentees in your area are using. Share these with other mentors. Think about what you said to your mentee that meant the same thing. Share these with your mentee. That should be lots of fun!
Word Meaning How it’s used
Aight Good, great He’s aight!(contraction for “all right”)
Benjamins Any money, but specifically $100 bills
It’s all about the benjamins!
