A pilot of this framework for mentoring (Fall 2015-Spring 2016) and presented at NABET in 2017 and 2018. The two researchers (Lofink and Rogers) had a two-fold interest at the time. First, they explored how effective the mentoring process would be for participants using the Kouzes and Posner (2012) framework. Second, they wanted to explore if undergraduate students (who in the initial pilot happened to be in a leadership council) were open to being mentored and what they perceived as their benefit from the experience. Going beyond pilot, The Barney School of Business (BSB) has moved into a Phase I launch of a BSB mentoring program. The program is fully integretated mentoring in all four years of the undergraduate experience and has focus to better prepare undergraduates to be successful as they journey from Freshman “College Ready” to Seniors poised for “Career Launch” into the working world. The workshop will focus on the key underpinnings of the approach and lessons learned.
