Education and Outreach
Mentoring Program
The Diversity Committee together with the Community Diversity Group introduced a mentoring program last year. The purpose of the AAUW/CDG Mentoring Program is to enhance the inclusion of local women from underrepresented groups in the State College communities by connecting them with others who can provide friendship and advice on a variety of issues, including networking, career planning, and community involvement.
All members of AAUW and CDG are eligible to be mentors and any member of the community or member of either organization is welcome to become a protégé. Currently we need protégés. If you know of someone who might be interested in becoming a protégé in the Mentoring Program, please let us know at the number listed below.
The Community Diversity Group is a non-profit coalition with representatives from the citizens of Centre County, businesses of Centre County, employees of Penn State, local governments, and local non-profit organizations. Their goal is to create a welcoming climate for all community members by fostering an inclusive and interactive community which attracts and retains a pool of potential employees and residents from ethnically underrepresented groups.
Together we have designed a complete program, and will begin our second year starting in January 2009. Any members who would like to help us as we finalize this outreach are encouraged to call Pat Kephart, Diversity Chair at 234-2524.
