Mentorship & Consultation Program 

Reasons to take part in the Mentorship & Consultation Program

• Strengthen connection to AUCCCO members
• Peer support around outreach administrative role
• Increase creative brain storming opportunities
• Experience a collaborative relationship which includes sharing of resources with others in similar positions throughout the academic year
• Boost personal and professional inspiration
• Increase advocacy for outreach professionals in our field
• Experience diversity in perspectives and experience within outreach administration
• Reduce your outreach burn out and maintain your passion for outreach
• Invitation to match connection time during our annual AUCCCO Conference
• (New!) Engage in online meet ups with all members of the mentorship and consultation program.

Interested? Here’s how it works:

• Once you’ve completed the application, know that you will be matched based on multiple criteria such as years in the role, size of school, professional development stage, and/or areas of interest.
• You may find yourself sometimes in a mentor, mentee, or consultation relationship and this shifting throughout the process as all of us come into this experience with various areas of strengths and areas of growth. There is not one mentor or mentee designation!
• You will receive an email with your match’s name and contact information before July 26^th.
• Please commit to at least one phone or Skype call per semester and communicate via email throughout the academic year as needed! We encourage trying to connect more often in the beginning to get to know one another.

Hear what others have been saying about the experience:

“The match was amazingly perfect! It was great to get a new perspective of someone who isn’t at my institution but understand the university dynamics.”

“I have enjoyed the opportunity to talk with someone who has already been doing outreach for several years. I have learned so much, gotten great perspective, and felt very supported. I am very happy with the mentor I got matched with!”

“While I have much experience in the outreach world, I feel inspired by the passion, ideas and vision of my matches. They keep me motivated to challenge myself and think outside of the box!”

The deadline to sign up is July 10, 2019!
