This six-session series will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. every other Wednesday starting Feb. 1. Lunch will be provided.
Effective and meaningful mentorship takes time and experience. It requires us to embrace diversity and recognize that mentorship is a journey where we can continually grow and improve. This workshop allows faculty to develop a mentoring philosophy, experiment with various mentoring methods and discuss mentoring challenges and successes with peers.
