Mentoring 101/New Faculty Workshop



Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start Workshop

Mentors and mentees first participate in separate parallel sessions, where they reflect on their own goals, working styles, and approaches to common challenges. Faculty have two options during the parallel sessions. Option 1: Faculty who have never attended this workshop and/or faculty who have not attended this workshop in the last two academic years should register for Part I & II on a date that corresponds with the availability of their student mentee(s). Option 2: Faculty who have attended a Good Start workshop in the previous two academic years and would like to engage in deeper discussion on the Mentoring Across Difference material are invited to attend Mentoring Across Difference 2.0 during the parallel sessions. Afterwards, each student–faculty pair collaborates to create a written mentoring plan that outlines key elements such as needs, objectives, and mutual expectations. Mentoring pairs are encouraged to consider attending the optional one-on-one discussion time at the end of the workshop, where they have dedicated time to work together on developing the mentoring plan. Registration is required of both the faculty and the student. Mentoring pairs must attend the workshop on the same date.

This workshop provides professors new to the University of Michigan with an opportunity to discuss what it means to exemplify the values, privileges, and responsibilities as Rackham graduate faculty with colleagues from across the university. This session also includes a workshop on mentoring doctoral students which will be facilitated by MORE (Mentoring Others Results in Excellence), a Rackham committee that engages with faculty and graduate students to foster conversations about mentoring. MORE’s workshop is designed to raise awareness of the research on best practices in mentoring and tools that can facilitate mentoring relationships for new assistant professors.

Audience: Assistant, associate, and full professors new to the University of Michigan. The MORE workshop is most relevant for faculty who are new assistant professors. Professors new to U-M (associate and full professors) are welcome to join the discussion during this portion of the event as well.

MORE Workshop Topics: You will learn from experienced colleagues about effective mentoring, understand how a written mentoring plan can help create a two-way conversation between mentor and mentee, and exchange ideas about handling challenging mentoring situations.
