Mentorship Program

The mentorship program is open to both Tenure-Track (TT) and Continuing Non-Tenure-Track (CNTT) faculty; it provides individualized guidance and support for faculty career development and, for tenure-track faculty, navigating the tenure process. Its purpose is to help faculty:

  • Increase productivity and effectiveness
  • Identify useful strategies, resources, and support
  • Review and strengthen professional materials
  • Better understand the specific steps and expectations of the tenure process
  • Have a confidential, supportive space to discuss questions or concerns
