A mentoring circle is a peer-to-peer learning format that connects you with others in the organization who share common interests or learning objectives, and allows you to learn together as a group. Mentoring circles help you create organizational relationships and networks, drive career development goals, build key skillsets, expand organizational knowledge and increase functional expertise.
Join the Rutgers School of Nursing Alumni Association Mentoring Circles Program to start developing personal and professional relationships with others in the organization who can help you learn and grow. If you're looking for community and guidance, you'll find actively participating in a group mentoring circle to be a rewarding experience.
