Program Summary

This program was developed after the "Women at the Frontier of Exxcellence" Symposium held at UBC in April 2001, revealed the need for a structured mentor program to assist teachers and students in Vancouver to access mentoring activities offered at UBC. It is currently a pilot project involving UBC’s Faculties of Science and Medicine. It is hoped that in the long term the program will expand to include other areas of the university.

All parties are invited to provide feedback on their mentoring experiences through the forms provided on the activities pages. However, we also welcome general comments on the program and the way it is presented.
