Academic Resources

Mentoring

Our goal is to provide faculty mentoring both formally and informally, and through workshops.

  • All new faculty should have access to mentoring in their department or school.
  • We offer workshops for assistant and associate professors on the tenure and advancement process. Watch for an email from the Vice Provost for the Faculty each semester inviting you to these workshops.  
  • All assistant and associate professors have access to the resources for faculty success that are available from the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD). A summary of the kinds of resources available through NCFDD can be found here.
