<p class="MsoNormal">The Council on Student Affairs (COSA) created a Mentoring Initiative to assist individuals working in Student Affairs roles in Oklahoma grow through the mentorship of more seasoned professionals. The program is offered every other year,
so applications are now available for the 2019-20 COSA Mentoring Initiative. The COSA Executive Committee and State Regents staff have compiled details about the program, expectations, and commitments in the “COSA 2019-20 Mentoring Initiative Guidebook” (attached).
Applications for both Mentees (those to be matched with a mentor) and Mentors (those willing to share their expertise with another professional) are also attached.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Applications for both Mentors and Mentees are due September 16, 2019.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please share this information broadly! We look forward to having a robust mentoring experience for all this year!<o:p></o:p></p>
