Updated! Graduate Student Mentorship Program 2025: The purpose of this program is to create a setting where graduate students feel supported, encouraged, connected, and empowered by faculty/staff here at the University of Wyoming. This program will allow students to learn and grow from their respective mentors so that they may thrive during their time at UW. All graduate students, faculty, and staff interested in forming mentor partnerships that support eliminating barriers specific to graduate students. Commitment: Two meetings a month, consisting of one group meeting for all participants to learn, converse, and connect (one hour) and one individual one-on-one meeting between mentor and mentee. These meetings maybe on Zoom, in person, or a mixture of both. Enrollment for this program happens at the beginning of the Fall and Spring Semesters and there is no cost. Enrollment for the Spring 2025 semster is open! If you are interested in participating in this program, please complete the “Get to Know You” survey by Friday, February 14, 2025. Spring meeting months are: February, March, April, May. If you have any questions or want more information, please contact, Victoria Flores at vflores2@uwyo.edu.
Inclusionary Global Leardership Program: The Inclusionary and Global Leadership Program is a six-week leadership course focused on equipping participants with the foundational skills necessary to be inclusive leaders in an increasingly diverse world.
