DSA Career Mentoring & Networking Program (For Division of Student Affairs Staff Only)
Student Affairs staff have the opportunity to join a division-wide mentorship program for the 2024-2025 academic year. Staff can apply to be either a mentor to someone in the division or be mentored by a Student Affairs professional.
This program provides career and professional development opportunities for staff, whether they serve as a mentor or a mentee. Both roles will help staff develop the skills they need to progress in the next steps of their career.
