Why be a mentor? A beneficial mentoring relationship fosters engagement between a professional and student/graduate. The mentee can learn, ask questions, and gain valuable insight. Essential aspects to positive communications include:

- increased understanding

Mentor-mentee relationships must also uphold certain ethical behavior to maintain respectful communication. The goal of the Mentor-Mentee relationship is to foster a successful interaction.
