Mentoring Program

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) has officially launched a mentoring program for new faculty.  Offered annually to new faculty interested in meeting regularly with a seasoned faculty member from a different department, this program will begin each year with a “speed mentoring” event.  During this event, potential mentors and mentees are matched according to shared profes­sional interests.  “The idea first emerged from the work MU-ADVANCE had been doing to improve retention of new female faculty in STEM disciplines,” said Sherri Smith, Executive Director of CTL.  Faculty interested in serving as mentors for Academic Year 2010-11, should contact Sherri Smith for more information.
