NEW: Faculty Mentoring Initiative

Strong and effective mentoring networks are among the most important markers of successful academic careers. The Faculty Mentoring Initiative, piloted and sponsored by the Institute for Faculty Advancement and the Teaching Resource Center, expands existing mentoring opportunities for junior faculty. The goal of Faculty Mentoring Initiative (FMI) is to support the professional development of early career faculty by connecting them with mentors outside of their home departments.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Since 1992, the Teaching Resource Center has been supporting junior faculty through mentoring programs such as the University Teaching Fellows Program and, more recently, the Excellence in Diversity Fellows Program. Both Programs provide structured and sustained mentoring to junior faculty. They also offer an orientation to senior faculty who serve as mentors and consultants.

With these pages, we share resources we have developed, collected from the literature, and obtained from other programs around Grounds. We hope you find them useful and invite you to email Dorothe Bach (bach@virginia.edu) with your comments and suggestions.  We would also be happy to add links to your mentoring efforts and/or to materials you have found helpful.
