We had great success and a TON of positive feedback from participants last quarter. Here is what some CMC members had to say about their experiences:
“[There was a] sense of belonging to a group with similar issues and goals. Great networking and teamwork. Excellent way to be exposed to other women's struggles and how they're handled.” “One of my favorite parts about the mentoring circles was being able to meet new people in the department and be in a situation to really get to know them over the course of numerous meetings.” “Having a good mix of grad and undergrad [students] has been great to have many different perspectives.”

MENTORSHIP FACTS AND BENEFITS ❖ The word EmentorF derives from “reek mythology when Odysseus entrusted the care of his son to his friend EMentor,F to serve as guide and teacher while he went to fight the Trojan War.[E. C. Carey and D. E.

❖ Mentoring has been found to influence retention rates because it helps establish an organizational culture that is attractive to the top talent clamoring for growth opportunities. Mentoring is a tangible way to show that [they] are valued and that the institution’s future includes them. [”art, E. W. V9W, In focus/mentoringPNurturing
