ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú ADVANCE Mentoring Circles are led by senior faculty members. These peer-mentoring circles are designed for faculty to engage in discussion of workplace issues that come up for faculty at ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú. Each circle meets 10 times a year and allows faculty to develop connections across campus. The mentoring circles are coordinated by Traci Byrd, tbyrd@murraystate.edu.
