Foundations and Futures Mentorship Pilot Program

We are excited to announce the soft launch of the Foundations and Futures Mentorship Program—a short-term pilot designed to connect State-Side Staff and MPPs in meaningful mentorship relationships, while shaping the future of the full-length program.

The goal of the soft launch is to provide a glimpse into the Foundations and Futures Mentorship Program. Participating Mentors and Mentees will provide feedback on the Mentorship Program before the official launch in Fall 2025.

This 2-month pilot is your opportunity to participate in the early development of a mentorship initiative focused on growth, collaboration, and connection—and help us make it better for everyone! We are looking for 10 Mentors and 10 Mentees across various divisions and departments.

Mentees: State Side Staff or MPP employees interested in career development, support, and building meaningful professional relationships, and have been continuously employed by the university for 6 months.

What You'll Do

Participate in 1–2 mentorship meetings per month
Receive tools and resources to guide conversations
Provide feedback at the end of the pilot to help shape the full program
Help us identify what works, what needs improvement, and what future participants should experience
