NEW for 2025-2026! The Harvard Longwood Mentoring Circles is peer-to-peer learning program that connects new employees with others within the Harvard Longwood Campus (the Harvard Medical School, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the Harvard School of Dental Medicine). Guided by an experienced mentor-facilitator (Circle Lead), participants engage in themed discussions, share insights, and learn about the organizational culture — all while building stronger connections with peers across the Harvard Longwood Campus (HLC).
Mentoring circles help you create organizational relationships and networks, drive career development goals, build key skillsets, expand organizational knowledge and increase functional expertise.
Eligibility:
The program is open to:
Mentees: Staff employees in grades 52–57 who are benefits-eligible and have worked at Harvard for 90–365 days.
Circle Leads: Staff employees in grade 58 and above who are benefits-eligible and have worked on the Harvard Longwood Campus for at least 2 years.
The program welcomes staff across all dynamic work schedules, including hybrid, remote, and on-campus employees.
Join the Mentoring Circles Program to start developing personal and professional relationships with others in the organization who can help you learn and grow. If you're looking for community and guidance, you'll find actively participating in a group mentoring circle to be a rewarding experience.
