Mentoring
EDUCAUSE is committed to providing opportunities for our members to engage, connect, and create community. Mentoring is just one way we can help you do so.
EDUCAUSE Mentoring Program
All-new mentoring platform coming Winter 2023!
EDUCAUSE is rolling out an all-new mentoring platform on EDUCAUSE Connect in February 2023. EDUCAUSE Connect will be your one-stop-shop to learn from and collaborate with your peers via community groups, working groups, mentoring, and more.
Access to the current Mentoring Platform (Chronus) will end on December 30, 2022. Remember to save your mentor/mentee contact information and connect on the new platform in February. Stay tuned for more information coming February 2023.
If you haven't already, take some time to sign in to EDUCAUSE Connect and set up your Connect profile.
Stay tuned for more information on how to join the all-new mentoring program coming in February!
About the Program
We offer one-to-one online mentoring designed to help you develop and achieve your personal and professional goals. This EDUCAUSE member-only program helps mentees and mentors find and connect with other higher education technology professionals who are seeking guidance, support, and growth in a safe environment.
You can have a mentorship for any length of time, agreed upon by both mentor and mentee. The structure is yours to customize, and EDUCAUSE will provide resources and check-ins along the way to ensure you're getting what you need out of the opportunity.

Why EDUCAUSE Mentoring?
Supportive Environment
Having a mentor outside your organization can provide a safe space to speak freely and engage in difficult conversations with peers who have faced similar challenges.
Diverse Perspectives
The EDUCAUSE Mentoring platform allows members to search affinity fields and other qualifiers, to help mentees match with a mentor with similar or different demographics/attributes.
Mentoring for All
EDUCAUSE mentoring provides for institutions whose IT workforce may be small or for institutions with no formal mentoring program.
