Dear ,

What are the benefits of mentoring? Who can gain from a mentoring relationship? What qualities do successful mentors share?

Though no longer with us, we are lucky to have this five-part video series by the late Gary Sanderson, who answers all that and more in the Mentoring Toolkit.

Tip: Sit down with a colleague, classmate, or mentor, and practice interpreting Gary's videos. Use this easy rubric as a guideline for assessing the work.
