INSTRUCTIONS FOR
MENTORING GOAL SHEET
In the first QCC Mentoring meeting, we ask that mentors and mentees that did not meet at the initial
kick o event begin with the Getting to Know You Pie Chart Activity. Once this has been completed, we
ask that the mentor and mentee work together to fill out the QCC Mentoring Goal Sheet. This goal sheet
allows mentors and mentees to come up with concrete, achievable goals for the student to achieve
throughout the academic year.
This sheet asks students to set goals for their academic growth, their professional/social growth, and
their goals for the mentoring relationship.
Once this sheet has been completed and signed by both the mentor and the mentee, we ask that a scan
is sent to mentoring@qcc.mass.edu.
