Highline University is a four-year undergraduate school located in the Puget Sound region of Washington State. A discussion of the design of a college information system for Highline University appears in this chapter on pages 209-215 as an example of creating data models. You are tasked with considering a different information system for Highline University, one that will be used by Highline University's Mentor Program.
The Highline University Mentor Program recruits business professionals as mentors for Highline University students. The mentors are unpaid volunteers who work together with the students' advisers to ensure that the students in the mentoring program learn needed and relevant management skills. You will develop a data model for the Mentor Program Information System.
