Faculty Mentoring
Mentoring is a centuries old method for assisting the personal
development and encouragement of others. It is an interpersonal
connection between two individuals, requiring specific, intentional
action by both persons. The use of a faculty mentoring agreement provides a formalized structure for senior to junior faculty sharing of wisdom and experience.
Goals
