What is the role of an SNG – Student Mentor?

Management 100 History

• M100 History

The Problem - Strong academic foundation, but lacked real experiences

and emphasis on professionalism.

• We needed a process designed to help new students grow professionally regardless of their starting point.

• We needed a avenue to engage student in the large lecture classroom of Nelson 3400.

Management 100 – Professionalism, Diversity, and Academic Success

• Professionalismo Business communications and email

• Diversityo First impressionso Diversity in the workplace o Support systems

• Academic Successo Degree planningo Time Managemento GPA Calculating o Academic Consequences

Diversity

Academic Success

Professionalism

How do you make all of this happen?

Poole students created the SNG model based on “Corporate affinity groups”

• Affinity groups, also called networking groups, provide forums for employees to gather socially and share ideas outside of their particular business units.

• Affinity groups bring together employees based on country of origin, racial, ethnic-background and gender-based affinity groups religion, physical disabilities, military service, age, sexual orientation and many other parameters.

Corporate affinity groups

What is the purpose of SNG?

• To foster a sense of community, belonging, and connection within the larger university

• To build an awareness of diversity and inclusivity among students,

• To foster intergroup dialogue,

• Provide access to professional and student role models, and to give students opportunities to develop networking skills.
