A CIRES team, mentorship program

Hazel Bain, Carrie Wall Bell, Ryan Cassotto, Jonathan Kofler, Kathy Lantz and Hilary Peddicord created a mentorship program over the last year and a half that has already connected 30 pairs of professionals across CIRES. The program has the potential to increase the workplace satisfaction of participants and in turn create a more creative and productive research atmosphere. Participants are learning from each other new resources and techniques that can help in research, teaching, and outreach. Please note: Mimi Hughes, a federal NOAA scientist, initiated this work when she was a CIRES employee, and we honor her foundational contribution with this citation. Alessandro Franchin, now at NCAR, was also critical to the program when he was a CIRES employee, and undergraduate student Tim Lenahan did  essential work on the project—OPA rules precluded CMC from giving either of them an official award, however we honor their participation in this citation.
