UFSC Master Mentorship Program
The UFSC Master Mentorship Program is an initiative of the Prorectorate for Outreach and Extension (PROEX) that values the contributions of retired faculty and staff from the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, recognizing their continued potential to benefit society.
The program offers individual or group mentoring, fostering knowledge exchange between two or more people. In this process, the mentor—a retired faculty or staff member from UFSC—brings a wealth of experience and shares technical and behavioral insights with the mentee(s).
The mentorships are free and open to the national and international community, including faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students, primary and secondary education students, school teachers and administrators, professionals from various fields, and anyone interested in expanding their expertise in specific areas.
