There is an overarching attempt to streamline or centralize the mentorship program, and although the Buddy system will be different- less formal and more holistic, a centralized point is deemed important. Other committees at WHOI are working on inclusivity as well, so cross communication is essential.<\/p>\n<p>The shared goal is that we need improvement in making all new employees feel welcome and supported.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Create google drive spreadsheet to brainstorm ideas (SM-done)<\/li>\n<li>Recruit a working group- let me know if you are interested!
