Flexibility Within Structure
The dates above provide structure, but the program is flexible in execution:
- • Meeting Times: Mentors and mentees can schedule meetings at any time during the week (not just Mondays)
- • Makeup Meetings: If a meeting is missed, it can be rescheduled that week
- • Holiday Adjustments: Contact the planning team if your week has conflicts
- • Pace: Follow the weekly themes, but take the time your mentee needs
