MENTOR MATCH
The Master Teachers Guild supports an environment and a structure for mentoring relationships among faculty within the consortium.  Faculty can identify a potential mentor or a faculty member to mentor by submitting a "Mentor" or "Mentee" Profile. 

An electronic submission and mentor/mentee search system is currently being developed and is expected to go live in Fall 2007.  Until then, faculty may submit a paper profile/s and receive names and contact information of potential mentors/mentees whose profiles on file match the request.  Send profiles and direct questions to Ellen Whiting, Director of Faculty Development, 330-325-6775; FAX 330-325-5903; ewhiting@neoucom.edu  Additional information on this program can be found at the Mentor Match website.

All faculty are entitled to a 10 percent discount on books, imprinted items, and clothing apparel. Faculty can special order medical books, equipment, and software; general software and computer hardware. All items can be delivered to those sites served by the NEOUCOM courier.

CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION DISCOUNTS
