Center for Faculty Excellence and Targeting Equity in Access to Mentoring (TEAM) ADVANCE

Fall 2024 Faculty Mentor Training

CFE Mentoring and TEAM ADVANCE promote a culture of accessible and effective faculty mentoring across campus. Our TEAM ADVANCE 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 equitable and intersectionality-informed mentoring skills and practices to support mentees of diverse 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- and fixed-term tracks) are invited to register. Registration is for all six sessions in Fall 2024. Following registration, participants will receive Outlook calendar invitations with meeting location information for each workshop.

The Fall 2024 Faculty Mentor Training will be held Fridays afternoons, 12:30 to 2:30 PM. All six sessions are two hours each and fully in-person.
