  Guiding Questions:

• • How do you see your own mentoring role(s)? 
  • When you visualize the trajectory of professional “mentorship”, what does it look like – both at DU, and in your field? 
  • Where do you seat the power for your own development? 
  • How might you calibrate your perception of what mentorship “should” look like to mentorship possibilities beyond the academy/in community/vernacular contexts? 
  • What mentorship opportunities might you cultivate that carry the possibility of reciprocal growth? Identify *one* possible partnership, collaboration, or mentor that truly energizes and excites you; then, A) write about why it excites you; and B) flesh out the roles/content/timeline of what that collaboration might look like -- just for your own thought process.
