Mentee Development Series: Tools for Academic and Personal Growth for Early Career Faculty

This workshop series consists of three 2-hour sessions designed specifically for early career faculty and is designed to prepare faculty to be effective mentees. Attendees will learn best practices for identifying and defining one’s career goals and purpose, establishing effective and productive mentoring relationships with their mentors, developing skills needed to strategically navigate their career advancement, and creating and refining their mentoring networks.

Via presentation of evidence-based best practices, these sessions use an open discussion format, breakout groups, and hypothetical case scenarios as the impetus for participants to reflect on their career development and mentoring experiences from the perspective of a mentee.
