The mentorship program connects CIVSA members in an effort to share ideas, receive feedback, and navigate the constantly changing higher education landscape, alongside a CIVSA peer. Members will be matched based on job responsibilities, institution size, and overall mentorship program goals to help members get the most out of these connections.
