Abstract

On the Ground

  • We created a mentoring and support group for women students, staff, and faculty in our academic unit.

  • The group met monthly to explore aspects of professional development, academic culture, workplace interactions, and work–life management.

  • Participants agreed involvement in the group was a positive experience.

  • We share summaries of the activities and topics the group addressed, and we encourage other agencies and institutions to consider forming women-focused mentoring programs.
