Moving Forward with a Coaching Pilot

After meeting with the Director of the Mentoring program at the City of San Jose, writing up our proposal, presenting it to Charlie Whitcomb and Carmen Sigler (Provost) and the HR Contacts, we've received very positive feedback and seem to be ready to move forward. The Provost would like for us to present it to several more groups on campus (Council of Deans, the President's Staff) and then we'll get ready to launch it in 2008-09. I'm very pleased to see that the time is right. People have been mentoring informally and are very open to formalizing the process.
