Augusta University students take on the 2026 Global Game Jam
"Students set their own goals, choose their teams and focus on what matters most to them. They often learn more in 48 hours than they would in two weeks in a traditional classroom."
Mentee Hub
You may be Wondering... How do I lean into my role as a Mentee?
It’s well established that having a mentor benefits students and their growth and development. It’s a fantastic way to build a relationship, learn new skills, and further your career. How can you, as a mentee, get the most out of this relationship? Step one is to take action! Put the new skills you’ve worked on with them to use in your everyday work. If you’ve asked for help writing a document, have a draft ready for them to look over. If they’ve given you something to work on, make sure you do that in time for your next session. If they’ve opened doors for you, make sure you walk through them!

Mentee Tips & Tricks
Ask Questions!
Don't be Afraid to Disagree
You shouldn’t feel like you have to take every single piece of advice your mentor gives you without question. If you disagree with something they’ve said, tell them. It will lead to a discussion with much more value than if you simply nodded your head in agreement.
Be Open to Feedback!
Your mentor is there to help you. They’d be doing you a disservice if they didn’t provide honest, sometimes critical feedback. They aren’t doing this to hurt you. You have to be open to being coached and stay receptive to the things your mentor tells you. Closing your mind off will hinder any progress you could be making.
Be Clear on your Needs
Respect your Mentor
Be Committed
