Are you interested in participating in a peer mentoring circle with a small group of faculty sharing common interests? 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 Sept. 4.
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 and supportive conversations. Peer Mentoring Circles will be organized based on faculty status and professional and/or personal challenges indicated on the application.
Sign up to join a Peer Mentoring Circle today. You will be matched with faculty facilitators and a group of peers based on your availability and additional information you provide. To participate you must be able to attend mentoring sessions once per month during the academic year.
Applications are due Sept. 4. Peer Mentoring Circles will begin meeting in October.
