Re: Survey - Who respects their mentors?

While writing a paper I found a good definition of what a mentor should be:

"Mentors provide two primary functions to protégés: (a) psychosocial support, in which they act as role models, provide acceptance, and confirm the protégé’s behavior, and (b) career development (vocational) support, in which they act as coaches to the protégé, protect the protégé from adverse organizational forces, provide challenging assignments, sponsor advancement, and foster positive exposure and visibility."

Yea, it's a dry definition compared to Dave's inspiring description, but it's a basic guideline for students who are thinking of people to nominate for UFH.
