Many Opportunities to Connect as a Mentor or Mentee!

The Associate Alumnae of Douglass College (AADC) continues to offer alumnae the opportunity to connect and grow through our successful mentoring program, Douglass Alumnae Mentoring. The AADC offers mentoring in our alumnae community with our vibrant alumnae in mind, providing professional development opportunities and connections across generations, distance, career levels and backgrounds. Our popular Learning Circle events will be offered and we will continue to publish newsletters (June 2022 Mentoring Works Newsletter) . Douglass Alumnae Mentoring provides a forum for alumnae to connect, engage and grow in an atmosphere that is conducive to learning, leading and developing.

Mission

There are three main objectives:
• To provide a positive professional development experience for Mentors and Mentees.
• To foster innovative learning and educational mentoring relationships among alumnae.
• To further the mission of women helping women in the context of our alumnae organization.

What is mentoring?

Mentoring is a two-way street paved with communication, respect, honesty and the commitment to work towards achieving mutually agreed upon goals. For the relationship to be successful, both Mentors and Mentees need to approach it with an open mind and a willingness to apply oneself. Douglass Alumnae Mentoring formally matches alumnae in mentoring relationships. Alumnae participants are encouraged to attend AADC-sponsored program workshops and AADC signature events throughout the year, including Regional Connection Group and Affinity Network events. Mentors and Mentees are welcome to continue their mentoring relationship and friendship beyond the conclusion of Douglass Alumnae Mentoring.
