Join ADVANCE and the Office of Faculty Development for a short session aimed at faculty members and Chairs/Heads workshopping department mentoring plan. The session will briefly present best principles, offer you a series of prompts to begin writing or revising your department mentoring plan, and provide you with examples of excellent department mentoring plans. Our goal is for you to leave the workshop with a draft or revised mentoring plan to present to your department. We will answer the following questions: How do departmental mentoring plans differ from individualized mentoring plans? What elements need to be in place to receive approval from the Provost's office? What are the best practices in departmental mentoring that lead to retaining faculty and creating positive departmental cultures?
Following the workshop, we will host a conversation on mentoring colleagues during times of change. Many faculty members recognize that the uncertainty of the current moment has been destabilizing, particularly for pre-tenure and NTT faculty members. What are some approaches to share with colleagues to help create a more resilient community?
