Mentor Committee

Purpose

The Mentor Committee is meant to serve as a direct line of communication and ideas between our mentor community and in-house teams.

Committee mentors will be a key part of this process, working with us to:

  • Run trials of new mentorship approaches and techniques to test for effectiveness and impact on student success
  • Preview and provide feedback on mentor specific trainings and professional development opportunities
  • Act as the main point of contact and voice of our greater mentor community
  • Be critical to the work of revisioning a robust, growth-oriented mentorship program that benefits both our students and our mentors personal and professional grown
  • Help define what mentorship at Turing is today and what it can be in the future
