Connect to a Mentor

Shadow and Share Program

Consider asking a colleague (from in or outside of your unit) to do a Shadow & Share partnership with you. Shadowing others, and being shadowed, can expand your advising skills and give you a space to process your practice.

Peer Partner

You might ask your unit to connect you with a peer partner – another great way to gain mentorship. See the following resource below and consider asking your supervisor about finding you a peer partner.

Academic Staff Mentor Match Program

Consider joining the Mentor Match Program to find an informal 9-month mentor from across campus who can support you as your transition to your new role.

Coaching Circles

Coaching circles are a tool for finding connection and support from colleagues who can help provide support through workplace challenges.

Professional Associations

Professional associations in your field are also a great place to be connected to mentoring opportunities.
