3. Sign the Contract - Upon submitting the registration form, mentor and mentee are defaultly agreed to the terms and conditions mentioned in the first section of the registration form which will consider as contract signed. 
4. Establish Expected Outcomes - Mentors and mentees are encouraged to meet initially to clarify the baseline expectations of the mentorship.
