The Office of Faculty Affairs invites all new faculty to our New Faculty Foundations 2.0 event: Mentoring 101: Best Practices in Undergraduate Student Mentoring. Our New Faculty Foundations 2.0 are designed with second-year faculty at KU in mind, but are open to all faculty within their first several years, with relevant topics geared towards all New Faculty experiences. The New Faculty Foundations series offers opportunities to learn about relevant and timely topics as they intersect with the faculty role, as well as time to connect with New Faculty peers over refreshments.

Mentoring 101: Best Practices in Undergraduate Student Mentoring

Research on undergraduate success finds distinct connections between a student thriving during and after college and their likelihood to report having a faculty member who served in an influential mentor role. In other words, effective faculty mentoring has an important impact on student engagement, well-being, and learning. Whether you are considering your role as a classroom-based mentor, as a mentor in your lab, or as a mentor with your research team, this session will provide best practices in mentoring that support academic socialization, engagement and learning, teamwork and collaboration, and student well-being. Join us as we hear from Michelle Wilson, Assistant Director of Academic and Professional Development for TRIO SES & STEM, and an award-winning faculty panel from across the disciplines to discuss mentoring strategies and best practices.
