[00:00:09.020]My name is Leah Sandall
[00:00:10.580]and I'm part of the leadership team for Cultivate Access.
[00:00:13.820]Many of you may be wondering what to expect
[00:00:15.640]as a scholar of the Cultivate Access program.
[00:00:18.120]Our hope is that during your time
[00:00:19.530]as a Cultivate Access scholar,
[00:00:21.370]you'll learn more about career opportunities
[00:00:23.310]and gain valuable skills and information
[00:00:25.380]about your interactions with mentors and ambassadors.
[00:00:28.360]Let's take a few minutes to talk
[00:00:30.160]about how you're gonna be involved as a scholar.
[00:00:32.720]Regular meetings with your mentor will happen virtually
[00:00:35.110]and provide an opportunity for you to learn from them
[00:00:37.260]and ask questions about career opportunities.
[00:00:39.850]We'll connect you with a mentor
[00:00:40.980]after we've had a chance to get to know you
[00:00:42.680]and hear more about your interests.
[00:00:44.540]The Cultivate Access ambassadors are excited to meet you.
[00:00:47.920]The ambassadors are University of Nebraska-Lincoln
[00:00:50.170]undergraduate students
[00:00:51.320]and their role is to help facilitate connections
[00:00:53.410]between you and the mentor
[00:00:55.130]and to support you in the program.
[00:00:57.090]It will be important during your time in Cultivate Access
[00:00:59.690]that you respond to communication
[00:01:01.330]from ambassadors and mentors in a timely way.
[00:01:04.590]This usually means doing your best to respond
[00:01:06.610]to an email, text or phone call within 24 hours.
[00:01:09.870]As a Cultivate Access leadership team,
[00:01:11.840]we've created some activities like reflections and surveys
[00:01:15.090]to help you gain skills and knowledge
[00:01:16.610]which will support you in reaching your career goals.
[00:01:19.650]These activities will not require too much of your time
[00:01:21.960]but they will help you do some thinking
[00:01:23.230]about what your goals are right now
[00:01:24.800]and where you hope to go in the future.
[00:01:26.950]We look forward to hosting meetups
[00:01:28.460]where we'll gather virtually once a month
[00:01:30.100]to learn from each other and talk about Cultivate Access.
[00:01:33.010]These meetups will also be a great time to ask questions.
[00:01:36.000]If you can't make one of them, don't worry.
[00:01:38.030]We plan to record them so you can watch it later.
[00:01:40.470]Have you heard of the Gallup StrengthsFinder assessment?
[00:01:43.100]The StrengthsFinder does just what the name implies.
[00:01:45.540]It helps you know your top strengths.
[00:01:47.560]This information has been really helpful for me and my job
[00:01:50.160]because I know which tasks I do best
[00:01:52.260]and the strengths of my team members
[00:01:54.000]so we can work together more efficiently.
[00:01:56.230]You'll get to take this assessment and learn for yourself
[00:01:58.430]about your top five strengths.
[00:02:00.170]Even though I've already mentioned it a couple of times,
[00:02:02.190]we want you to know how important it is for you
[00:02:03.920]to ask questions during your time in Cultivate Access.
[00:02:07.020]One of the best ways to learn is by asking questions.
[00:02:09.840]You'll have the chance to ask questions
[00:02:11.220]when you communicate with the ambassadors, with your mentor
[00:02:13.670]and during the meetups.
[00:02:15.050]You can also contact us at any point
[00:02:16.900]by calling us on the phone or sending in an email.
[00:02:19.540]Your passion for solving problems
[00:02:21.140]with your creativity and new ideas
[00:02:23.040]is what will help cause change in the world.
[00:02:25.210]I look forward to working with you
[00:02:26.600]and learning from all the scholars in the program.
