As a Sallyportal user, I wish to support the professional development of the Rice network. I understand I must adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards in all personal/digital interactions via Sallyportal. I will:

  • Provide accurate information about my professional background, interests, and the logistical details of any planned interactions
  • Communicate, dress, and behave professionally and courteously in all mentoring interactions
  • Acknowledge calls/messages by responding appropriately and in a timely manner (within 48 hours)
  • Attend all scheduled interactions, and provide notice of at least 1 day for canceling a scheduled interaction.
