Faculty Mentoring Academy

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 each Academic Year.  Faculty who attend three of the five workshops (over a two-year period) will be eligible to receive a certificate, reflecting the designation of having attended the “Faculty Mentoring Academy”.
