“FELINE made me re-evaluate the roles
that mentors and mentees should take for a
successful relationship”
“ It helped me develop the ability of
learning to trust others”
“FELINE and other hands on activities
illustrated mentoring as a process”
“This was an excellent event. It really
boosted my confidence in my ability to
lead. I cannot thank everyone enough”
“It was a great learning experience that
allowed for a lot of personal and
professional growth”
“It was a really great experience and I am
thankful, it makes me want to do more for
the community and the world.”
“My favorite activity was definitely the FELINE one. I really had to communicate very clearly in order to get the message of
what needed to be done across.”-K. Luebke Winter 2012
“ I learned a lot about leadership skills.
I've never really been in a leadership
position before so it’s good to learn more
about being a mentor and a leader”
“I have an increased confidence by
knowing my strengths and weaknesses
and tools to work with various other
strengths and weaknesses.”
“FELINE was a positive experience
because it taught teamwork through good
mentor/mentee communication”
