Diversity

Round Table Mentor is deeply committed to diversity and equity across the program. The mentorship took its name from its governing approach: a round table, where no one is better than any other person, whether they are mentor or mentee. To that end, RTM has several protocols in place:

• Round-table mentee selection, wherein each mentee is placed with mentors who are best able to relate to and help them;

• Applications to mentor pool, rather than specific mentors;

• A requirement of at least 50+% PoC mentor pool;

• Mentee application questions centering on race, to ensure at minimum 50/50 PoC inclusion;

• A strong emphasis on disability inclusion;

• RTM completed the SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) 3-module DEI program on creating an inclusive workplace environment in March 2023.
