Mentoring Objectives & Scope

I would like to mentor graduate and undergraduate students to help them understand what their career options are, help them understand what their passions are, and to help align their decisions/activities accordingly.  I can speak in detail about consulting and multiple industries.  My only expectations are that my mentees be 1.) truly invested in themselves, 2.) willing to work hard to achieve their goals, and 3.) life-long-learners

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?

I can meet early mornings, mid-day, or evenings, I am flexible on locations, and can meet in Seattle or anywhere on the east side.
