Managing Mentoring Programs Across Campus Using Mentoring Software and AI

In this session, Gil Katz from MentorEase will explore the various types of mentoring programs offered at campuses around the world. From pre-enrollment to peer mentoring, supporting grads, alumni and faculty. Each program has unique characteristics and tools that can make it easy to manage.

As a case study example, Michelle Dovil from Howard University in Washington, DC will share insights regarding how they implemented and have used mentoring software and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to match students with professionals in the Geoscience and Social Science fields. The Full STEAM Ahead mentoring program is supported and fully funded by the National Science Foundation.

Another case study will be from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) sharing insights regarding how they used our mentoring software for over 2.5 years in the Office of Minority Education (OME) to assist with managing two successful mentoring programs at https://ome-mentoring.mit.edu:

1. E-Mentor Advocate Partnership Program (EMAP) – The goal of E-MAP is to help students transition from academia to the work environment. Industry and alumni mentors work closely with MIT protégés to guide them through the process.
2. Mentor Advocate Partnership (MAP) – A volunteer mentoring program designed to assist first-year students on building relationships with staff, faculty, post-docs and graduate students.
