The Knowledge River Alumni Network Mentorship Program was officially launched in February 2012 with a face-to-face and virtual orientation session for mentors and mentees and the initial matching of students to mentors. The program has been designed to facilitate the professional development of KR Scholars through partnerships and training to support career planning, networking, and leadership development. An important component of KR’s recently attained IMLS Grant, the mentorship program has the potential to help KR continue to be recognized as a leader in the development of information professionals serving Latino and Native American communities. Knowledge River is excited to now be working in conjunction with SIRLS to have a comprehensive mentor program. More details on the changes regarding the mentorship program will be made available soon.
