Testimonials:

“My mentor provides invaluable guidance and support by helping me navigate various work challenges that directly impact my career path. Her insight has been instrumental in shaping my professional goals and aspirations.”

“The encouragement and support that I have received from my mentor has increased my self-efficacy tremendously. Knowing that I have someone in my corner whom I trust and who believes in me and my potential has empowered me to pursue ambitious goals with determination and resilience.”

The goal of the mentorship program is to provide opportunities for emerging women leaders in higher education to connect with and learn from senior women leaders across Arizona from a variety of higher education settings. Through networking opportunities, career and leadership development, mentors will assist mentees in navigating their leadership journey through goal setting and guidance.
