The Faculty Mentoring Certificate program consists of a sequence of four workshops that are designed to help participants reflect on their mentoring practices and experiences, understand different approaches to mentoring, and develop a mentoring philosophy. The program presents foundational strategies for beginning, sustaining, and evolving a mentoring relationship, and core issues that are essential to address throughout the relationship. The topics of cross-cultural and cross-generational mentoring, as well as power dynamics and bias, are woven throughout the program.
Audience
This program is designed for full-time faculty who are preparing to mentor other faculty for the first time and experienced faculty who are interested in improving and updating their existing mentoring practices. We are seeking to include full professors, associate professors, senior lecturers, and distinguished lecturers in this program.
Delivery Method
The program is currently designed for in-person delivery.
