Mentoring Program
laboratoryThe objective of the Mentoring Program is to provide Assistant Professors, if they so desire, with a mentor from outside of their department. The mentor will be someone with whom they can share their concerns and speak candidly. Mentors will assist with junior faculty with professional development by providing information about university policies; culture; and resources; advice for balancing competing commitments (teaching, research, family, professional service, advising); suggestions for what to say "yes" to and when to say "no;" and strategies for becoming well-integrated in the broader disciplinary community. ADVANCE will also work with department chairs and the Vice President for Research to develop formal intradepartmental mentoring programs.
