How to utilize Networking/Mentorship

I am a freshman in college and I was able to connect with someone working in IB through my university. We had a few conversations but I don’t feel like I am fully utilizing this mentorship resource. How do I go about having a more productive exchange on both ends for results. What should I ask. what should I expect and what ways can we add value? Thanks.
