There are many ways how a faculty or staff mentor will aid in a person's success at Iowa State. They usually know what a person in your situation has gone through and what you need to do in order to succeed without any problems. A mentor can be a vital asset to a students success at Iowa State.
One area of potential growth is being able to help me with interviews and prepare me for upcoming interviews in the future. There are many ways that a mentor can help me out in the future. They have been able to help me network with other professors and get my name out there for other people to notice. I've heard the saying "Its not who you know; its who knows you." and I believe that this is where a mentor such as a faculty or staff member would be able to help me out. Mentors can show you opportunities that a person otherwise may not notice or be able to find on their own. There are a few profesors that do research in my area of interest (agronomy) and someday I hope maybe to be somewhat involved in this and one way to do this is through a mentor or staff member and thats another reason why I believe a mentor is beneficial to a student at ISU. Another thing that I noticed is that some staff members even go out of there way to find internships for students in their intended area of interest which also can help a person out in the long run.
The one thing I look for in a good mentor is a person that who looks out for others well-being and even go out of their way to help a person. Overall a staff member or any kind of mentor is beneficial to a students career in the long run. Whether its help for a class or finding an internship, mentors are a great asset.
