The Mentoring program, designed and implemented by the Diversity Team as part of the Diversity Initiative, sponsors mentoring pairs and guides them as follows:
- Each year, approximately 15 mentees are matched with mentors for a one-year commitment in the mentoring program.
- Mentees can indicate their preference for a specific mentor. The Diversity Team will match mentees and mentors based on the information provided in the applications; the final match will be approved by both.
- The Mentoring Program begins with a training class for both mentors and mentees. This training allows for team building, diversity training, and focuses on issues central to the mentor-mentee relationship. Additional training dates may be added as needed.
- Mentors/mentees are also invited to a training workshop designed to establish the relationship between the mentor and mentee, focus on mentee objectives, and use newly acquired mentoring skills from the workshop to develop meaningful goals.
