“I now have real world job experience that I couldn’t obtain from a class or school. I have met a lot of people in the field and my ability to draw conclusions has increased.” - ASE Intern
“He was more productive than many of the graduate students I have had in the past. It was a pleasure working with him. I learned quite a bit as a result of his research…” -PSU mentor

The Value of Mentoring
![Page 9: Mentor Orientation for Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering (ASE) Program](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55a4dbed1a28ab1e398b47d9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Who mentored you?Who helped ignite your passion for STEM?
What qualities did this person embody?
How did s/he help shape your development, education and career choices?
ACTIVITY
1. In groups of 3-5, introduce yourself
2. Discuss and draw a quality of mentoring
![Page 10: Mentor Orientation for Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering (ASE) Program](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55a4dbed1a28ab1e398b47d9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Value of Mentoring• Early 1990’s research finds “caring, committed
adults” central to healthy growth of young people
• Relationships recognized as the mechanism through which psychological development occurs
• Not all youth have access to caring, committed adults outside the family
![Page 11: Mentor Orientation for Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering (ASE) Program](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55a4dbed1a28ab1e398b47d9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
…science is moving very quickly, …we can’t even imagine the scientific techniques they’ll be using, or the careers they will have.
The only thing that is certain is that our students won’t be using the techniques we use or have the careers that we have...Our 21stth century challenge is to mentor thatthere are no boundaries for what science can be done and that passion drives discovery.
Jeri Janowsky, PhDExecutive Director, Saturday Academy
