As a participant, I agree to:
a) Meet with my mentor, officially, at least once a month. A weekly meeting is
strongly encouraged, as needed. The first meeting must take place within the first
two weeks of the semester. Communications via Facebook, Twitter, email, texting and
phone are all acceptable.
b) Attend an orientation before the start of each semester.
c) Provide weekly update to my mentor via email, texting, face-to-face meeting
or phone.
d) Attend a minimum of 2 Sankofa related activities including (academic and/or
life skills) during the 1st semester and 1 workshop on the second semester online
or on campus.
e) Visit Career Education & Development to develop a career plan, job search, internship
information, etc.
I understand that although I am required to attend only two Sankofa events or workshops, many of the workshops and other program activities will aid my development academically and professionally. Therefore, I will endeavor to participate in as many Sankofa events or workshops as often as I possibly can.
As a participant of Sankofa Retention Inititative, I hereby give permission to my professors or to Stockton University to release my academic progress reports or academic records to my mentor and/or Sankofa Retention Inititative staff.
