CECI Fellows Handbook
Mentorship Guide
"If we want people to fully show up, to bring their whole selves including their unarmored, whole hearts—so that we can innovate, solve problems, and serve people—we have to be vigilant about creating a culture in which people feel safe, seen, heard, and respected." - Brené Brown, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts (2018).

OUR VISION
The CECI Fellowship is a peer mentor initiative, designed to create and maintain a community for participating CECI students. The primary goal is to provide empathetic and empowering support through relationships among experienced and novice college students, while also supporting a sense of community, opportunities for professional development, and ways to prepare for post-graduation.
OUR LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students participating in our CECI Fellowship will experience an increase in self-efficacy (“I believe I can reach my goals”), self-motivation/determination (“I want to achieve my goals for myself”), self-awareness (“I know what I want to achieve and why”), and sense of belonging (“I feel included, accepted, and valuable to my community”).
