Mentor Instructions

Introductions -  Introduce yourself, stating the basics.  Include the following:
•	Name
•	Profession
•	Brief statement indicating how you ended up where you are (the idea is to captivate a group of teenagers – not necessarily to inform). This should take roughly three to five minutes per person. 

Students will ask questions. Expect the unexpected. Ever said, “I wish I’d known then what I know now?” Please use this opportunity to share those gems of wisdom. Cover what YOU believe is most important.

Student Instructions

Asking Questions -  Raise your hand. Speak loudly and clearly. There is no such thing as a stupid question.

What Do You Ask? Listen to each of the mentors introduce himself/herself. When you hear someone say something that is interesting to you, ask more about it. DON’T HOLD BACK. DON’T BE SHY. Ask what you really want to know. (I suggest jotting things down as they come to you.)
