Mentoring, EDUCAUSE
“”Mentoring” often brings to mind a traditional model grounded in age-old practices, a decidedly formal relationship between an experienced colleague and someone less advanced in his or her career. Traditional mentoring has served us well but it does not scale. Modern mentoring incorporates flexible variations and innovations to improve the odds for success and accommodates a spectrum of career experiences and varying commitment levels with degrees of formality.

Mentoring matters and never more so than now. We have the power of many, each with something to give and something to gain through mentoring. You can find your fit as a mentee, a mentor, or both through a variety of mentoring opportunities offered by EDUCAUSE.”
