The Elizabeth Garrett Mentoring Programme
The Elizabeth Garrett Mentoring Programme has been created for women in senior levels in academia at the University of St Andrews.
The programme is sponsored by the Principal, Professor Sally Mapstone.
It aims to support women in, or aspiring to, academic leadership roles, and to develop leadership capability.
The establishment of this scheme acknowledges the need to increase representation of women at senior levels of academia, including at St Andrews, and seeks to address this inequality. It aims to help women achieve their true potential in whatever capacity. It recognises that there should be no obstacles for women of ability.
The aim of this scheme is to support staff and help them to achieve (and develop) specific objectives that they set for themselves. In the majority of matches it is envisaged that mentors & mentees will be from different schools / units. This helps to promote cross-school / unit working, and has proved to be successful.
