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 Professionalism o Business communications and etiquette o Navigating unwritten rules o Networking o Professional Portfolio Diversity o First impressions o Diversity in the workplace o Support systems Academic Success o Degree planning o Time Management o 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.
