ºÚÁÏÍø

At ºÚÁÏÍø we believe that mentoring is important for all faculty. We also understand that no one model is applicable to everyone. Below is a series of guidelines and resources for  colleges, departments and schools, mentors, and mentees.  

RESOURCES FOR COLLEGES

• For colleges without departments and schools also use the "Resources for Chairs and Departments" listed below.
• For colleges with departments and schools, require or strongly suggest, that departments and schools use the "Resources for Chairs and Departments" listed below.
• Collect names of individuals willing to serve as mentors, and share those via a searchable or viewable database.  This will help find mentors outside of a faculty member's immediate field.
• Organize events or programs that bring faculty together and promote peer mentoring throughout the year (e.g. research discussions; peer mentoring; reading groups).    

RESOURCES FOR CHAIRS AND DEPARTMENTS

• Building a Departmental-Level Program: A Guide for Chairs - This guide has been written based on the 7 best practices suggested by COACHE (Collaborative on Careers in Higher Education). Departmental programs should address all 7 points. 

RESOURCES FOR ALL FACULTY
