Mentoring

Welcome to MSU Denver’s Nutrition Department Mentor Program. This program offers students the chance to connect with experienced registered dietitians and nutrition professionals who can support their academic and professional growth. Through these one-on-one connections, students build professional networks, strengthen leadership skills, set clear career goals, grow confidence, and explore the many pathways within the nutrition and dietetics field.

This mentorship program has two designated pathways and will last six months or a semester.

Emails, social media posts, and newsletter flyers are used to advertise the program for new mentees. Students are selected on a first come first serve basis and will be notified via email about the selection process. The program coordinator will do its best to match students with appropriate mentors according to their preference, however, it is not guaranteed. If a student is matched with a mentor they did not select, it’s encouraged that they stay open to the experience—there’s always something valuable to learn from someone new.

Both pathways will require the completion of a meeting log to document the hours mentees spend with their mentor, however, it is not required. Mentors will have monthly check-ins with the program coordinators to answer any questions or concerns that may arise.
