Topic: Effective Communication
Mentorship is a powerful tool for working with graduate students. It also enhances collaborative relationships between early-career 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 five workshops held during the course of the 2024-2025 Academic Year. The fifth workshop of the year will cover the topic, “Effective Communication”. Faculty who attend three of the five workshops (over a two-year period) will be eligible to receive the designation of having attended the “Faculty Mentoring Academy”. For more information, please visit: https://ap.uci.edu/resources/facultydev/facultymentoringacademy/.
The five workshop topics are:
- Mentoring in Today’s Environment
- Culturally Responsive Mentoring
- Inspiring Motivation
- Aligning Expectations
- Effective Communication
