Women's Mentor ProgramThis program connects women pursuing their education at the University of Texas with faculty and staff. Through the program, students will gain the support and validation of faculty and staff. The formal mentor-mentee relationship lasts one academic year; however, many mentors and mentees maintain contact with one another well past the one-year mark.

The primary goal of this program is to train peer facilitators to lead workshops about sexual orientation and gender identity across the UT campus. Members of the "Peers for Pride" program are required to take one class in the fall semester and one in the spring semester. During the fall semester course, "Confronting LGBTQ Oppression: Exploring the Issues and Learning the Skills to Communicate Them," students learn basic facilitation skills while taking an in-depth look at some issues facing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer individuals. During the spring semester course, "Facilitating Dialogues on LGBTQ Oppression: Peers for Pride in Action," peer facilitators have the opportunity to fine-tune their facilitation skills and lead workshops across campus.
Participants are required to make a two-semester commitment to the program. Interested students must complete an application and an interview with the program's director and course instructor, Shane Whalley, LMSW. For more information, contact Shane at swhalley@mail.utexas.edu.
