About the Mentoring Program

The Staff Mentoring Program at Louisiana State University is a voluntary program tailored to the needs of staff at various stages in their career. Regardless of program level, LSU’s mentoring program is designed to provide participants with an opportunity to observe firsthand how the university operates at various administrative levels as well as providing some experience analyzing real problems and issues that may arise in the workplace. 

Mission

Louisiana State University is committed to providing a positive mentoring experience for our staff. Through these voluntary partnerships, our employees will be afforded opportunities to grow in their career and become an integral part of the LSU community.
