Feeling a bit lost as a new or not-so-new faculty member during this uncertain time? Our faculty peer mentoring programs can help. Research shows that faculty peer mentoring creates various benefits for mentees, including but not limited to higher research productivity, increased teaching proficiency, more robust networks and collegial relationships, better work-life balance, and higher career satisfaction.

Please join Sarah Lyon, Associate Dean of Faculty, and Karen Petrone, Director of the Cooperative for the Humanities and Social Sciences, for a workshop to help you get the mentoring you need to thrive in your faculty career.

Faculty peer mentoring is proven to be beneficial for both mentors and mentees. It can foster new collegial relationships, develop research and teaching skills, improve work-life balance, and create opportunities to meet faculty from other departments or fields. However, it is not easy to build effective faculty mentorship without proper guidelines and appropriate structures that set clear, professional boundaries and accomplish concrete goals.

Please join Sarah Lyon, Associate Dean of Faculty, and Karen Petrone, Director of the Cooperative for the Humanities and Social Sciences, for a workshop that will offer tips and provide resources and strategies to help interested faculty be effective faculty peer mentors.
