About Mentoring
What is a mentor?
A mentor is a trusted and experienced advisor. The relationship
between the mentor and mentee is unique. The mentor may assume
one or several roles, while contributing to a sustaining relationship of
shared interests and goals. A mentor makes a commitment to an
assigned mentee to help her or him grow within organization as well
as the profession.
A person can never have too many mentors. As a professional
librarian, you might have several formal and informal mentors at the
same time.

About the Mentoring Team:
The Mentoring Team consists of a
small subgroup of volunteer
mentors that manages the program
under the broad oversight of the
Associate Deans. The Mentoring
Team connects Mentees and
Mentors, sets meeting schedules
and coordinates events (e.g.,
workshops, etc.), communicates
with all librarians about Mentoring
Program activities, and serves as a
liaison between the mentoring team
and the Associate Deans.
As with many new things, terms of
appointment remain to be
determined and we welcome your
input into what will become a
democratic peer-managed process.
