The Mentoring Collaborative History

The Mentoring Collaborative was created during the 2007- 2008 academic year.

• On November 01, 2007 the program launched its first sets of mentors/mentees with a reception in the Student Union and had a wonderful bonding experience.You can read about the event in the February 08, 2008 issue of UToday: Mentoring Collaborative forging bonds between students, community members.

• The program was established in the Office of the Provost under the direction of then vice provost, Dr. Carol Bresnahan. Now entering its fourth year, The Mentoring Collaborative has become a resource center for students, faculty, staff and community members to provide access to programs, services and vehicles of assistance available at the University.

• With The College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences as our primary university partner, we have streamlined our focus to concentrate on mentor training and assessment efforts. The Mentoring Collaborative remains a campus wide ally to all colleges and university programs.

• The Mentoring Collaborative is led by Advisory Council Co-Chairs Dr. Leigh Chiarelott, Chair of Curriculum and Instruction and Sheila Doles,  third year doctoral student in Curriculum and Instruction.
