Campus Connection Program

Are you interested in being a mentor for new employees? Would you like to meet new people and share your wisdom and experiences as a UW-Green Bay employee? If so, please consider becoming a “Campus Resource Person” within the Campus Connection Program!

Human Resources, in partnership with the University Staff Committee (formerly CSAC) and the Academic Staff Governance Committee is introducing an updated new employee mentor program to include both University Staff (Classified) and Academic Staff employees. This program will be called the Campus Connection Program.

The goal of the Campus Connection Program is to foster a cooperative network among University Staff and Academic Staff employees, as well as to cultivate a sense of community on campus. The program benefits new employees by giving them a friendly resource (a campus resource person). In return, existing employees have the opportunity to share their experiences and knowledge.

As a campus resource person, you would help new employees acclimate to the campus culture and help them become an active campus community member. You would meet with the new employee, invite them to university events, and act as a resource.

Click on these links for more information about the Campus Connection Program and the Campus Connection Program Mentor Checklist.

If you are interested in being a campus resource person:

Have a discussion with your supervisor to discuss the feasibility with your workload.
By October 31, 2014, send an e-mail to HR at hr@uwgb.edu with your supervisor copied expressing interest.
HR will be in contact with all interested mentors to arrange a training session and tour.

** Please note: If you have participated in the Campus Connection Program in the past and are currently on our list of volunteers, please send us an e-mail to express your interest in remaining on the list.

Please contact Human Resources at x2390 or hr@uwgb.edu if you have any questions!
