I'm done with orientation! It was actually pretty fun. It was filled with lots of information about my program and the school. I know that I will have tons of help along the way. About a day or so after completing my orientation I received an email stating my next steps. It stated that I will be receiving a mentor in a couple of days.
While waiting to hear from my mentor I explored some of the communities in the student success community (a resource). There I found stories of other students and read about there personal situations. I have a group that I check in on a day to day basis that has people who are in my same degree program. While networking in the communities those two days went by quick. While checking my email I seen a subject line titled ''Hello from your new mentor''.
I clicked it with excitement to find out who my new cheerleader would be. In the email I was to select 3 times for me and her to have our first call. I choose the first time slot that was available. We spoke for about twenty minutes. The conversation went well.
The next step is for me and my mentor to discuss a degree plan. I scheduled to have that done this coming Wednesday. She explained to me that it will be done via adobe connect by sharing my computer screen (if that makes any sense). After the call I received a recap email on what we went over and a little ''homework'' that included somewhat of a survey and my vision statement.
So far so good. While waiting to discuss my degree plan I will be back in the student communities. Someone always has helpful tips and information to share!
Stay tuned and thanks for reading....
