What types of support do you feel comfortable offering students yourself, and what types of support would you rather address by helping students build relationships with others? How might you connect students with others that could address those needs? Relationship-rich campuses have supportive campus climates that foster meaningful relationships (e.g., supervisor, teacher, advisor, coach, etc.), some of which develop into mentoring relationships.
