Mentorship, Coaching & Student Development Theory Mentoring is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capitol and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development; mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less (the protégé). ” Wikipedia Coaching Models: Most coaching approaches share some things in common: The establishment of a relationship that's built on trust, unfeigned communication and confidentiality. The formulation of client-based, agreed upon goals and expectations. A deep questioning and learning dynamic in relation to people's goals. J. P. Cortes A mentoring community is a network of belonging. Such a community allows young adults to consider big questions that will shape their future lives: questions of meaning, purpose and faith. Mentoring communities also assist young adults in developing worthy dreams—imagined possibilities that orient meaning, purpose and aspiration. A sense of vocation or calling is the most complete and spiritual form of the dream. ” Sharon Parks Chickering’s Vector of Development-- Developing purpose. Developing clear vocational goals, committing to personal interests and activities and establishing strong interpersonal commitments. Arthur Chickering

UCSB Survey Activities that helped meet NUFP learning Outcomes In rank order 1. NUFP Campus based program 2. NASPA Student Leadership Institute 3. NASPA Summer Internship 4. NASPA Conferences “NUFP program and NASPA really solidified my interest in my position as an ARD. It also gave me great insight into what it takes to be a young student affairs professional and helped build a strong foundation for the ARD position through professional networking and research. ”

UCSB Survey (continued) All respondents: Plan to enroll in a Higher Education & Student Affairs program. Affirm that NUFP helped prepare them for post graduate study. Plan to stay connected to fellows and mentors. Plan to stay involved in NASPA.

UCSB Survey (continued) Key Student Perspectives: “Being a part of the NUFP Program has definitely influenced my decision on continuing an education to obtain a degree in Student Affairs. I’ve really enjoyed everything that I’ve been a part of and without this program, I would not have had the resources (academic resources & relationships with professionals, other fellows, & mentors) to successfully go through this process. ” ”The NUFP experience challenged me to really figure out what it is that I want from a graduate program by providing me with the resources needed to begin that search. Those professionals involved with the program pushed all of us NUFs to look forward to grad programs and continue our education in ways that were not overwhelming or overbearing but inspiring and challenging. Through the NUF program I developed strong speaking skills and a good knowledge of what Student Affairs and Higher Education is as a division and institution within itself. It also pushed me to take my academics seriously and perform at a level that distinguished me from other undergraduate students. ” “This program has made an impact on my life as a young Student Affairs professional. It created a home away from home and gave me insight into myself. I made some amazing friends that I look forward to seeing every year and that I keep in touch with in-between conferences. We utilize each other as resources and work together on projects no matter what the distance is between us. My mentors in this program have supported me throughout my graduate application process and I know will continue supporting me as I take each step in my Student Affairs journey. This program provided so much to me and my fellow NUFs. It is something that will always connect us regardless of how far apart we are. Thank you to those who made this possible, both on a national level and here at UCSB. Without them I honestly do not think I would be where I am today. ”
