a. Visit www.tumi.org/mentor for resources and tools to help you as you equip leaders for the work of ministry.

b. Visit www.tumi.org and click on “help” at the bottom right of the screen to ask questions related to everything from administration, Capstone and specific module concerns, to reference texts, spiritual formation, and the like. c. Visit www.tumi.org/capstone for the official required textbooks list for each Capstone module, along with the reading assignments for each module. d. Visit the Satellite Gateway at www.tumi.org for our Foundations for Ministry Series courses with access to syllabi for those courses, along with course descriptions and the official required textbooks list for Foundations courses. 3. Manage your classroom in a professional, organized, and excellent fashion. All of your interactions with the students should be formal, warm, and respectful. Know your students, know what is important to them and pray for them. Be open to the Lord and to them to give a word of encouragement. 4. Nurture within them a spirit of bravado: David is TUMI’s patron saint, and God the Holy Spirit selects and gifts whom he will to do what he desires. 5. Be professional, responsible, and diligent in all your duties as a mentor – preparation for class, counseling and assisting students, praying regularly for your class, and fairness and clarity in all grading and assessment. Your excellence will enable students to both trust and submit to your oversight and teaching, and will encourage them to mirror your fine work as they engage in their studies.
