Happy holidays from the CC Mentoring and Orientation Taskforce!

As you may have heard at a CC meeting, we have been busy starting up a program we are calling Peabody IDEAS (inter-department exploration and support) in order to institutionalize conversations about race, diversity, and other important topics among Peabody graduate students.

This spring, we will be piloting this program, and we need volunteers to be pilot co-facilitators from the CC group! As a pilot facilitator, you will be testing out the facilitator training and facilitating three to four conversations among Peabody graduate students.

Time Commitment:

• Approximately six hours of training spread across at least two to three days in January.
• Approximately three or four pilot conversations (about 1-1.5 hours) in February and March.
• Continual online and in person feedback.

If you are interested in being a pilot co-facilitator, please fill out this survey letting us know your basic, weekly availability next semester.
