Mentoring Workshops
We offer mentoring workshops for your program or department to support mentors and mentees in learning skills toward building effective mentoring relationships.
- Better Research Through Better Mentoring workshops are designed to support faculty in their endeavors to learn tangible skills and techniques to help them take their mentoring skills to the next level.
- Mentoring Up workshops are designed to support graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in understanding their roles in collaborating with mentors to advocate for and build effective mentoring relationships.
Better Research Through Better Mentoring workshops for faculty mentors are offered regularly throughout the academic year and by request. Mentoring Up workshops are currently only available by request. Requested workshops can be customized for your class, retreat, department meeting or other gathering.
Mentoring workshops are based on curricula developed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
