Towson University’s Staff Mentorship Program aims to develop relationships among staff, resulting in a stronger and more collaborative working environment. Specifically, this program assists with integrating employees into the Towson University community by providing them with a valuable resource, a mentor, who offers support and encouragement, and is a point of reference for many additional resources that this campus offers.
The mentor/mentee matching program is available to all employees regardless of classification and division. Those interested in being a mentor or being mentored can register online and are notified as potential matches become available.
