Mentoring is an important role of any faculty member, but few faculty receive formal training for this role. Guiding Growth: A Workshop for Faculty Mentors will help faculty develop skills for effectively mentoring graduate students, junior faculty, and peers. The program will provide an opportunity for both new and senior faculty to work with a community of peers to enhance their ability to guide and support others as they navigate their academic career. Topics will include developing mentoring agreements, communicating expectations, fostering independence, meeting the mentee’s individual needs, and addressing mentoring challenges. 

The Guiding Growth workshop will include four 90-minute sessions from 12:30-2:00 pm on January 14, February 4, March 4, and April 1. Participants will be asked to commit to all four sessions. Please register for the program by December 20 by completing this Google form.
