What is it about?

What to look for in a great mentor? Mentors can help to achieve academic and professional, as well as sporting goals. A mentor is important to a Ph.D. student; for example, scheduling weekly meetings, discussing and providing a range of scientific resources, and improving understanding of the scope of research being undertaken. In this situation, a mentor will help explore research gaps and encourage a mentee to extend knowledge in specific areas.

Why is it important?

A good mentor will provide constructive feedback, directing further studies or action to strengthen any weaknesses. He or she will help keep a mentee on track, especially when things are not going as planned, and help individuals stay at the top of their game, by pushing with better focus than people push themselves.
