The FHSU Faculty Mentoring program focuses on two realms of mentoring: functional (teaching, scholarship, service) and psychosocial (relationship-building, networking, understanding university and academic norms). The Faculty Mentoring Program offers discussion-based events twice each semester, with topics including tenure and promotion, scholarly activity, student engagement, collaborative learning, online teaching, and other items relevant to FHSU faculty. The program is based on mentoring frameworks from the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity, Labin’s AXLES model of mentoring, and peer-reviewed research on mentoring for university faculty.
A sense of accomplishment, renewed interest in work, opportunities to hear new ideas, greater research productivity.
Easier assimilation into university culture, reduced social isolation, improved relationships across campus, as well as unique benefits for women, BIPOC faculty, veterans, and others sometimes marginalized in academia .
