Mentoring Program

Illingworth reported that the model for our mentor program is based on the program set up by the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (CALA) at the University of Minnesota. Their overview can be seen by visiting www.cala2.umn.edu/mentor/overview.html.    Each board member received the first draft of CAP's mentoring overview.  Jamie Lake will send an electronic version to everyone so they can make suggestions to Illingworth, Jones or Theresa Jeter-Newburn.  Comments and suggests are due back by Monday, May 9.

Ilingworth asked Quinn for assistance with getting quotes from the key people mentioned on page 2 of the overview.  Lake suggested having student and alumni quotes as well.

The final version of the overview will be given to Quinn so that Brad Beaubien, who organizes the CAP websites, can get the overview on the Web site.

Jones will prepare text with links for the next eCAP and BSUAA Cardinal's Nest.  She will also prepare text for two separate mailings; one for students and one for alumni.
