Your Faculty Mentors
The primary role of the Faculty Mentor is to provide second year students with advising
regarding life after CUSSW. In a Faculty Mentor, students have someone available to
them to discuss how to best use their degree in the professional world. We have found
that many students leave CUSSW with fabulous credentials yet are unsure about how to
begin their careers.
Faculty Mentors can help students identify short and long term career
goals and provide some perspective around entering the professional world of social
work. Some students may benefit from hearing about their Mentor’s own career
trajectories. Developing a relationship with a Faculty Mentor may serve as a networking
opportunity, considering how many faculty members have ties with professionals in the
field working at various agencies around NYC and across the country.
Whatever the
case, the Faculty Mentor is as an integral part of a second-year student's life, helping
students gain a sense of direction as they embark on their careers.
