Faculty Peer Mentoring Circles Program Open for Participant Applications

Are you interested in participating in a peer mentoring circle with a small group of faculty? The Office for Faculty Affairs offers a program that provides mentorship outside of a faculty member's home department. Faculty who would like to participate in a Peer Mentoring Circle can apply by Aug. 30. 

Peer Mentoring Circles promote honest and open dialogue about challenges, successes and issues experienced by faculty participants. The goal is not to replace department-level mentoring but to add an additional layer of support for pre-tenure, tenured and non-tenure track faculty. Peer Mentoring Circles help create new connections across colleges and disciplines and allow faculty members to participate in non-judgmental, inclusive and supportive conversations. 

No member of a group — facilitator or mentee — will be from the same department or program.  

If you want to join a Peer Mentoring Circle as a member,  sign up today. You will be matched with two faculty facilitators and a group of peers based on your availability and additional information collected. To participate, you must be able to attend mentoring sessions once per month during the academic year.  

Applications are due Aug. 30. Peer Mentoring Circles will begin meeting in October. Download this flyer for more information and to share this opportunity with your colleagues.
