Founded in 2022, the TAMUS Library Mentorship Program was designed to connect new library staff with more experienced peers, fostering professional growth and integration within the system. The program emerged from the Virtual Library Conference Dine & Dish events, which focused on creating affinity groups to enhance collaboration. By facilitating these connections across the TAMU System, the program aimed to support the development of a cohesive and supportive library community.
Learn a bit more about the individuals from across the TAMU System libraries who have come together to create this mentorship program. You can also access the TAMUS VLC Website - aka, where this all began!
