E-Mentor Office Hours (EMentOHs)
What is Office Hour Mentorship?
An office-hour mentorship is a flexible and informal way for mentees to engage with experienced mentors for guidance, advice, and support. Unlike a structured long-term mentorship program, office hours offer drop-in or scheduled sessions where you can ask questions, seek feedback, and discuss your academic or career concerns.
