Peer Mentoring Groups
Peer mentoring groups are facilitated small groups that utilise mentoring techniques with each other.
This page provides information about:
SUN have established peer mentoring groups for women staff within the SUN network to provide support for professional development. These groups are supportive forums, lead by a Group Coordinator, where female staff with similar interests, in similar roles or at similar developmental stages can:
- discuss work issues with peers;
- participate in professional development activities as a group;
- develop strong links with colleagues across disciplines, faculties and work areas;
- test new ideas with other women in similar roles;
- find out what's happening in other areas of the University;
- seek support for career objectives.
Four peer mentoring groups have been established. SUN members are welcome to join one of the groups if there is a topic that interests you.
To join a group, please contact the group coordinator for details of their next meeting.
