The KNIT Mentorship program aims to engage, empower, and prepare our newest students as they transition to becoming a part of the Georgia Tech Community.

KNIT Mentor Applications are due on February 19th at 11:59 p.m.

Requirements & Expectations

1. I understand that I must be in good standing with Georgia Tech and maintain a 2.3 GPA. 

2. I understand the quality and scope of any mentoring partnership is largely determined by the commitment and quality of communication between myself and any mentee I am paired with.

3. I understand that I will need to be personally accountable and professional with a sense of timeliness, accessibility, and respectfulness.

4. I understand that the KNIT Mentorship Program will be hosting events throughout the year and that I will commit to attend, and encourage my mentee to attend along with me. 

5.  I understand that to be paired with a mentee I must attend all general mentor trainings, and any supplemental trainings for special mentoring programs.

6. I understand that to be paired with a mentee, I must be present at the pairing party on September 9th, 2019.
