Mentoring 101 and Introduction to Rackham for New Graduate Faculty

This workshop provides an opportunity to discuss with fellow assistant professors what it means to exemplify the values, privileges, and responsibilities as Rackham graduate faculty. The 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. 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.
