Workshop Title: “Aligning Expectations”

Space will be available for the first 60 faculty who register.
Mentorship is a powerful tool for working with graduate students. It also enhances collaborative relationships between junior and senior faculty. Faculty, however, often mentor in the way they were mentored. Many faculty do not have routine formal mentor training. In this workshop series, we will use a discussion and case study approach to share and improve our skills for mentoring graduate students, as well other trainees. We will focus on the development of applicable strategies for mentoring. All faculty are welcome to attend.
The “Faculty Mentoring Academy” will be delivered via a series of four workshops held during the course of the 2023-2024 Academic Year. The inaugural workshop covered the topic, “What is Mentoring?”; the second one will cover “Aligning Expectations” and will address establishing expectations, mentoring compacts, authorship/co-authorship, further collaborations between faculty and mentees, and finally students’ expectations.
Faculty who attend three of the four workshops will be eligible to receive the designation of having attended the “Faculty Mentoring Academy”. The topics of the four workshops are listed below:
- What is Mentoring?
- Aligning Expectations
- Effective Communication
- Culturally-Aware Mentoring & Advocacy
