Want to become a better faculty mentor to your graduate students and postdocs?

Attendees will join a faculty mentoring community to share ideas and experiences to promote student and research/scholarship success.
This seven-session interactive workshop series allows faculty to develop a mentoring philosophy, experiment with various mentoring methods and discuss mentoring challenges and successes with peers.
The workshops will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. every other Wednesday starting Jan. 17, and lunch will be provided. The selected faculty must attend all seven sessions to receive a certificate of completion.
