Academic Staff Mentoring Program
Any academic staff member can be a mentor or a mentee. The program is designed for both new and continuing academic staff with goals developed to meet individual needs. Participants will be encouraged to examine their tool box of skills, network with other academic staff, attend professional training, and actively participate in governance. You are invited to join in the process of creating a larger community of caring for each other. Program evaluations indicate that it really works!
