The 2024-2025 Staff Senate Mentoring Program is seeking both mentees and mentors. Share your UMBC and career experience, or gain valuable insights and advice from a mentor!
Why Participate?
"Years ago, when the program first started, I signed up as a mentee and it was life changing. My mentor helped me think about things I hadn't considered before, and I still think about those conversations today because they literally helped shape my path at UMBC. Today, as a mentor, I am grateful to have had the chance to work with so many wonderful mentees. It feels like an important "pay it forward" practice, and that's why I come back year after year."

- Mentees: Staff with less than 3 years of UMBC experience can gain valuable guidance and insights.
- Mentors: Staff with over 3 years of experience can share their knowledge and help shape the next generation of UMBC leaders.
- Pro Tip: Apply to be a mentor AND a mentee!
The Mentoring Program starts in July 2024 and runs through June 2025. Contact Laila Shishineh at lailams@umbc.edu with any questions.
