Leaders and Mentors

What Pitt students say . . .

 

Q:  Are professors here eager to help students or will they be inaccessible?

A:  Professors are willing to help students who are willing to go looking for help.  All professors keep office hours and most will go beyond those hours if you need extra help, or direct you to additional sources to help you understand the material.

 

Q: What is a mentor, anyway?

A: Ideally, a mentor is someone who can provide you with support, challenge, and perspective. Keep your eyes open for faculty, grad students, or others in the Pitt community who could help you figure out what you need to do to succeed. Don’t be shy. Tell her you’re looking for advice – and then be willing to show her that you’ve either taken the advice or that you’ve considered it seriously before rejecting it!
