Center for Faculty Excellence
Spring 2025 Faculty Mentor TrainingThe
Center for Faculty Excellence promotes a culture of accessible and effective faculty mentoring across campus. Our
Faculty Mentor Training is a six-part interactive series for faculty seeking to enhance their mentoring skills, particularly in mentoring junior faculty. The core curriculum emphasizes evidence-based mentoring skills and practices to support mentees of all backgrounds and experiences. The curriculum is adapted from the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research's (CIMER) nationally recognized Entering Mentoring program. Sessions include guided discussion, evidence-based practices, case studies and activities. Participants will gain access to workshop and mentoring resources through Canvas. All faculty (tenure-line and fixed-term) are invited to register.
Registration is for all six sessions in Spring 2025.
The program begins Friday, January 17. Following registration, participants will receive Outlook calendar invitations with meeting location information for each workshop.
Faculty who are interested in participating the training, but who are unable to attend the first workshop on January, may register for the training and attend a special make-up workshop on January 24 (12:30 to 2:30 PM). The Spring 2025 Faculty Mentor Training will be held Fridays afternoons. All six sessions are two hours each and fully in-person, and lunch will be provided.
