The COD Mentoring Committee developed and piloted the COD Mentorship Program in leadership/ administration during the 2022-2023 academic year, and AACP looks forward to offering this important program again this year. We are now seeking mentors, mentees, and peer buddies for the upcoming year, from July 2026 to June 2027. The peer buddy is a new category with the goal of matching two individuals with a similar title to learn, problem-solve, and support each other.
If you are interested in being a mentee, mentor, or peer buddy, please answer the short survey below. It is possible to select more than one category depending on your interest. For example, a new Dean may want to be a mentee with a Dean mentor as well as serve as a mentor for an Associate Dean mentee. Information about mentors will be shared with mentees who will be asked to rank their top five preferences in order. Information about peer buddies will be shared with other peer buddies and ranking will be completed. The COD Mentoring Committee will do its best to pair mentees with mentors as well as peer buddies to create optimal relationships.
This survey will close on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
