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 and group mentoring, fostering knowledge exchange between participants. In this process, the mentor—a retired faculty or staff member from UFSC—brings extensive experience and shares technical and professional insights with the mentee(s).
