Mission: Current Environmental Engineering Science's (EES) students expressed mentoring needs, and EES faculty and staff expressed enthusiastic support; therefore, Naim Conrad Vilabrera and Colleen Baublitz with member recruitment assistance from AWMA, the Wetlands Club, SEE, AWRA and EWRI propose a departmental mentoring program to launch in Fall 2015- The ESSIE Planeteer Mentoring Program. We hope that the program serves as a basis for the development of mentoring programs in other engineering departments and mentoring collaboration inter-departmentally. Objectives: Engage students around the common goal of human health and environmental protection Encourage involvement in a variety of subjects for both academic and professional career tracks Ease educational and communicative leadership experience for mentors Expand the University of Florida community through the inclusion of underrepresented groups Promote retention in human health and environmental fields Provide insight to facilitate success
