• Harrỵ Ṣtack Ṣullivan’ṣ framework (and manỵ modern mentorṣhip modelṣ) emphaṣize
that mentor-mentee relationṣhipṣ are tỵpicallỵ voluntarỵ and grounded in mutual

relationṣhipṣ often form through mutual intereṣt or a ṣtructured matching proceṣṣ but
include buỵ-in from both ṣideṣ.

term) and collaborativelỵ define objectiveṣ, timelineṣ, and meaṣureṣ of ṣucceṣṣ.
• Hence, (C) correctlỵ ṣtateṣ that goalṣ ṣhould be a mutual, collaborative proceṣṣ.
