Our Staff Mentoring program provides a structured process where staff members are able to focus on career growth, self-awareness, and continued learning. We offer the opportunity to connect with others, develop meaningful relationships, and demonstrate commitment to professional development.

The program is held twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, with a four (4) month commitment for each session. The number of participants accepted in each cohort is determined by interest level and eligibility.

A mentor is an individual with the knowledge, expertise, and resources to effectively guide the growth and development of a mentee.

To be a mentor, the staff member must:

• Hold an associate director level position and above
• Have been employed by the institution for at least one (1) year
• Have the approval of their direct supervisor
• Attend the Staff Mentoring Program kick-off meeting

A mentee, also referred to as protégé, is an individual who seeks professional growth and who receives support and guidance from a mentor.

To be a mentee, the staff member must:

• Demonstrate commitment to professional development
• Have the approval of their direct supervisor
• Attend the Staff Mentoring Program kick-off meeting

There is an application for the program, which includes a series of questions to assist Human Resources in the selection and pairing process. Staff members can self-nominate to participate or be nominated by their supervisor.
