APPLICATIONS FOR MENTORS AND MENTEES DUE TODAY!
Washington State University is gearing up for the 2nd portion of our 1-year Staff Mentoring and Professional Development Pilot Program. In early 2019, Commission on the Status of Women submitted a proposal for the creation of this pilot. The pilot program supported by the Office of the President, is being administered by Human Resource Services.
To apply to be considered for the Spring 2020 cohort in Pullman*, please submit an application by 11:59 p.m. PST on Jan. 31.
Mentor: A mentor is a person who has professional and life experience and who voluntarily agrees to help a mentee develop skills, competencies, or goals. Put another way, a mentor is an advisor and role model who is willing to invest in the mentee’s personal growth and professional development.
Mentee: A mentee is someone who has identified a specific personal or professional goal and who believes that the guidance and help of a mentor–-and being held accountable to the mentor–-can help them achieve their goal.
HRS will solicit feedback from program participants to assess the program at the end of the Spring 2020 semester to determine feasibility and continuation options.
*Plans to expand this program to all campuses as well as during the summer are contingent upon successful completion of the first small pilot program at the Pullman Campus.
Applicants will be notified in February 2020, whether or not, they have been selected to participate in the Spring 2020 cohort, running from February-May.
