LUC & ME
Loyola University Chicago Mentoring Experience
The Loyola University Chicago Mentoring Experience, LUC & ME, is a voluntary, formal mentoring program for newly hired staff members.
The program matches newly hired employees, mentees, with experienced employees who will act as mentors. Each mentor will share his/her knowledge and experience in a one-on-one partnership with a mentee.
LUC & ME supports the University's initiative for employee diversity, retention and engagement.
THE mentee
A mentee is a full-time staff member who has been employed with Loyola for less than six months and would benefit from the support of an experienced staff member.
THE mentor
A mentor is a full-time staff member in good standing, who typically has two years or more of work experience at Loyola. A mentor should have a good working knowledge of University policies and procedures and be dedicated to supporting and encouraging new staff, building the University community, and fostering Loyola's mission.

- Committing to the duration of the six-month structured Mentoring Program
