The Building Opportunities for Networking and Development (BOND) Mentoring Program is designed to increase access to mentorship and community for all staff and faculty on the CU Anschutz campus. BOND recognizes that mentorship is important for personal and professional growth and development. Literature shows that mentorship benefits both mentees and mentors—expanding networks, more effective problem-solving, and improved learning and engagement. Thus, BOND was developed to provide opportunities for all, including those who have faced challenges in accessing networking or mentorship. Our goal is to foster connection, support a sense of belonging, and encourage professional development.
Applications for Cohort 3 are now closed. Applications for Cohort 4 will open in April 2027.
We also offer the Building Opportunities for Networking and Development Peer-to-Peer (BOND P2P) Mentoring Program. BOND P2P is different than a traditional hierarchical mentoring relationship in that participants are paired based on similar career stages and/or life circumstances and provide mentorship to each other.
