U of A LGBTQ-Plus Faculty/Staff-Student Mentoring Program
The U of A LGBTQ-plus Faculty/Staff-Student Mentoring Program is pleased to announce it is accepting applications from LGBTQ-plus students who wish to be paired with LGBTQ-plus faculty/staff mentors.
The goals of this program are to foster mentoring relationships between students and faculty/staff who offer support, guidance and resources to LGBTQ-plus students at the U of A and to expose students to the diverse out-of-classroom lives of adult LGBTQ-plus members of the U of A community.
If you are interested in either being a mentor or mentored, please contact Michele Cooper at michelec@uark.edu or Justin Barnum at jbarnum@uark.edu for an application or more information. Deadline Sept. 15.
