I have just begun a new Project Management class: PMGT 461 Global Project Management, and I need a mentor to communicate with over the next nine weeks. The purpose of having a mentor for the class is to provide insight into various topics for each week. Recommended times are 30-45 minutes each week. However, emails or texts may be an easier option, with time zones and schedules being what they are. I have attempted to go through my local PMI chapter but have had no luck.
Please let me know if anybody can aid me with this portion of my class. Thank you. Saving Changes...
Can you provide an idea of the profile of the "ideal" mentor in terms of past experience, types of projects managed and so on?

Leslie,
have been a mentor for students in the class you are attending before. I am in Germany, so there is a time difference for scheduling 1:1s. Most of the work I did was asynchronous anyhow.
If you want I can help you, contact me via inbox.
