Fostering Graduate Student Mentorship for New Faculty
This intensive workshop focuses on helping you develop as a mentor of graduate students. By stipulating our expectations as mentors and communicating clearly, we can avoid many problems that impede students' progress. Successful mentoring relationships help both faculty and students optimize use of time and fiscal resources and advance collective goals. Activities and discussions at this workshop will focus on skills that faculty need to help more kinds of students progress through graduate milestones and succeed in research. We will also focus on tools and strategies to help faculty manage the workload of mentoring.
- What you do when you mentor?
- Mentoring in different disciplines: common principles and practices, in and out of the lab
- How to develop and enhance positive mentoring relationships: maintaining good communication with mentees
- Mentoring across difference
- Keeping students on track
- Guiding mentees to be full partners in their development
- What is a mentoring philosophy?: understanding your own style
