Become a mentor for UC ANR colleagues
With more than 100 new employees joining UC ANR in the past year, there is an extremely high demand for mentors in the fifth annual ANR Mentorship Program.
ANR Learning & Development is seeking volunteers – both staff and academics – for the nine-month program, which begins in late February and runs through November. Volunteers will help foster personal and professional growth by mentoring a new staff or academic employee.
While mentors listen to and share knowledge and insights with their mentees, they also report that they learn a lot about themselves during the process, said Jodi Azulai, Learning & Development coordinator. Learn more about what it means to be a mentor.
Mentors are asked to commit to an online orientation, monthly phone/video call check-ins with mentees, and three in-person group sessions.
Apply at https://surveys.ucanr.edu/survey.cfm?surveynumber=25208.
Note that employees who have previously served as a mentor, and who would like to volunteer again, do not need to fill out the survey. Email Azulai at jlazulai@ucanr.edu to express your interest for the coming year.
If selected as a mentor in the 2023 program, you will be contacted by Learning & Development on next steps. Please reach out to Azulai at jlazulai@ucanr.edu if you have questions.
