To all CUL staff:
Are you looking for an opportunity to help your colleagues make the most of their careers? Are you interested in playing a role in welcoming newly hired staff and helping them stay informed? How about providing opportunities to connect staff-both librarians in the promotion process and non-academic staff interested in exploring career options-with experienced staff to guide them? Well, you're in luck! The Career Development Committee is seeking volunteers to serve on the newly-revamped Mentoring Committee.
The mission of the CUL mentorship committee is to facilitate and support the development of mentorship opportunities for all interested staff members.
The committee will be responsible for:
* Recruiting mentors
* Matching mentors and mentees for both academic and non-academic staff, based on individual needs and interests
* Support mentoring relationships to ensure mutual benefit
* Scheduling networking and learning events and
* Conducting an annual assessment of overall program and review of the charge
Members shall serve for 1 or 2 year terms. The Mentoring Committee is being re-created as a subcommittee of the Career Development Committee with a new charge that includes all staff. Because of this new charge, we anticipate that the first few months will involve a fair amount of structuring and organizing.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please send an email stating your interest in serving on the committee by 05/31 to Boaz Nadav-Manes (btn3@cornell.edu)
Thank you,
Career Development Committee
