The GWA staff mentorship program is a voluntary opportunity for early and mid-career Georgetown mentees to receive professional and career development support from more senior Georgetown colleagues. The program aims to build meaningful 1:1 relationships, enhance leadership development and mentoring skills in a supportive environment, and create a mentorship network of Hoyas.
February 25: The GWA Mentoring Committee will send mentees and mentors their match information.
February 26, 12:00-1:00 pm EST: The pairs will attend a virtual launch event.
June/July: The pairs will attend a hybrid leadership development event hosted by GWA in the summertime.
Mid November/Early December: The pairs will attend a hybrid leadership development event followed by a celebratory luncheon at the conclusion of the program (lunchtime).
Between February 2026 – November 2026, mentor/mentee pairs will participate in structured and unstructured interactions. Each pair will commit to monthly one-on-one meetings, supported by a mentoring toolkit. Participants will also attend three signature events over the course of the year with the full mentoring cohort, which often involve a combination of community building and professional leadership development.
Note: The 2026 cohort is closed. Applications will be available for 2027 cohort in January.
Mentors (advisors): Staff/AAPs (or Faculty with a dual staff role) who seek to share their knowledge and experience to help develop the next generation of Georgetown leaders. Ideal mentors should be Georgetown employees for at least two years with an excitement and willingness to support others. Please note: mentors will receive a toolkit with resources on mentoring tactics and activities.
Mentees (learners): Any Staff/AAP who have completed their probationary period and wish to continue their development as professionals through a supportive relationship with a more senior or experienced leader at Georgetown. At this time, faculty cannot be mentees.
