Topics

Strong mentorship has been linked to enhanced mentee productivity, self-efficacy, career satisfaction, and is an important predictor of the academic success of scientists and engineers in training. The Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) has developed a curriculum which we will use in an upcoming session for faculty. By participating in this workshop, faculty will develop and/or enhance their mentoring skills and receive resources and materials to support effective mentoring of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. 

Topics: Aligning expectations; Fostering independence; Effective communication; Promoting professional development; Articulating your mentoring plan
