Mentoring Portland State University Students

I am mentoring Portland State University graduate students.  I'm starting this blog to encourage collaboration, reduce travel and engage more people in the conversation.
Let's talk about the key things that college students are interested in finding out about from mentors and alumni:
Attitude – ethics, character, integrity and the importance of habits
Finance – budgeting, credit, investing and the power of money
Interpersonal Skills – etiquette, relationships, social consciousness
Leadership – vision, objectives, strategies, commitment, passion
LIfe Skills – negotiation, communications, networking, job search skills
Management – goal setting, team building, prioritization, timelines, execution
