Rethinking Mentoring

Rethinking Mentoring

Thursday, Jan. 19
11 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Lunch will be provided
Esch Hurvis Room, Warch Campus Center
Presenter: Mindi Thompson, associate professor of counseling psychology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison

This session is designed to start a new type of discussion about mentoring by describing the common problems that pre-tenure and post-tenure faculty members experience and why traditional mentoring programs fail to meet those needs. We propose an alternative framework for mentoring that focuses on needs assessment and shifts the idea of mentoring from a relationship between two faculty members toward building a broad network of support, community and accountability. The workshop concludes with a presentation of best practices in mentoring pre-tenure, underrepresented and mid-career faculty.

Please RSVP to michelle.l.lasecki-jahnke@lawrence.edu before Thursday, Jan. 12.
