Event Overview:
In today’s rapidly changing higher education landscape, the traditional career path is evolving. As staff members experience more dynamic roles and organizations face increasing turnover, the need for effective mentorship has never been more critical. Not all mentorship, however, is formal or structured. Informal mentoring relationships often play a key role in shaping careers, providing personalized guidance and support in ways that formal programs sometimes can’t.

Join us for an engaging discussion with three expert panelists, each offering a distinct perspective on the evolving role of mentorship in higher education. Together, we’ll explore how mentoring—both formal and informal—helps staff navigate career transitions, build resilience, and develop skills that transcend institutional boundaries. We'll examine the value of relationship dynamics in mentoring, where mutual trust and connection can foster growth in ways that a traditional supervisory structure alone might not. We'll also explore cross-institutional networks, ethical considerations, and how to leverage both informal and formal mentoring relationships in today’s fluid job market.

Whether you’re a mentor, mentee, administrator, or simply curious about the value of mentorship, this webinar will provide practical strategies and fresh perspectives on fostering professional growth and well-being for staff in a world where change is the only constant.
