Mentoring The CWIT mentoring program engages students, faculty, staff, and business professionals in an environment that promotes academic excellence, leadership development, and career exploration for women and men. The program supports students' continuous growth and development, the transfer of knowledge, and the building of capability in our protégés and mentors. The mentors provide a wealth of knowledge and assistance in supporting the protégés as they cultivate skills necessary to be successful in the workforce. A Mentoring Tool Kit was developed for use in the program.
