Office of Student Life seeking faculty and staff mentors of CINO Elevate

The Office of Student Life is seeking individuals who are willing to serve as CINO Elevate mentors to junior level students for the spring semester. CINO Elevate is a University mentorship program designed to pair faculty and staff members with junior level students. The program provides students with an additional opportunity to meet faculty and staff members on campus, allows students to learn what it means to have a personal, yet professional relationship, and grant students access to people who have "been there," providing a sense of guidance through their past experience. 

With the number of students interested increasing, faculty and staff members are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible. The only requirement is to meet with the designated student once a week for about an hour. Many pairs meet for lunch once a week. 

The Office of Student Life will provide mentors with a handbook of items to talk about; however, the program is meant to be unique for each faculty and staff member based on their preferences. 

Each student will be hand-paired with a faculty or staff member based on what the student requests. The requests can include someone with same outside interests, someone within their career field, or an individual to talk about their fturue with. On your application, please be as specific and detailed as possible to ensure the most accurate selection. 

The link to sign up can be found here. For questions, please contact Jessica Combess within the Office of Student Life at 843-349-2656.
