2Finding a mentor

Once a user has completed a learning agreement, they will be given a list of mentors to pick from, matching their identified learning needs. The original list of matches corresponds with the learning competencies specified in the original learning agreement. If the listing does not meet your expectations, you can search through potential mentors using a 'keyword' search located in the top right-hand corner of the GMN search screen.

3Joining a networking group

Mentees: Log into the system to access your home page. Click on the “group” tab on the left side of your screen. Scroll through the list of group names, clicking on a group you wish to join. Press the “join” button on the upper right of your screen.

Mentors: Contact mentor@apus.edu with the name(s) of the networking groups they wish to join.

4Group code information

Participants are given a group code upon accessing the GMN for the first time. This code assigns you as either a mentee or mentor.

Once you have signed in, you will notice a “group code” tab at the top of your GMN home screen. Ignore this tab! Your group code has already been used. The “group code” tab has no relation to the “networking groups.”

5If a mentor isn't accepting a mentee invitation

Mentees should give their mentor a reasonable amount of time to respond. If the mentor has not responded after a reasonable amount of time, the mentee can select a different mentor by clicking on the “relationship” tab and then clicking the “re call” button.

6Mentor/mentee not responding

The Global Mentor Network Coordinator can send a reminder notice, if requested.

Please note: It is essential to discuss meeting times and dates in the first transaction. This can reduce unnecessary confusion. If you wish to end a relationship, log into the network and click on the “archive” button.

7Ending a mentoring relationship

When a mentoring relationship comes to an end, we ask that mentees click the “archive” button under the “relationship” tab.

Once this is done, mentors and mentees will be sent a relationship completion survey. Please fill out this short survey so we can improve GMN!
