Mentoring Matters

A new program developed to assist faculty in their relationship with graduate students.

Mentoring Matters

Mentoring Matters is a 4-part professional development program designed in collaboration with NC State’s Graduate School to equip faculty with the tools and strategies to foster more productive and successful mentoring and advising relationships with graduate students. Based on the CIMER Entering Mentoring curriculum, the series focuses on how to nurture advisee/mentee relationships through exploring case studies and proven tools and strategies. Participants will come away from the series with better insight and understanding of the mentor/mentee relationship and a suite of tools to use with their mentees. This new program consists of four 90-minute workshops every two weeks beginning on September 6, 2024. The workshop topics are:

  • September 6, 2024 – Session 1: Your Advising Philosophy and Expectations facilitated by Dr. Diane Chapman
  • September 20, 2024 0 Session 2: Communicating Effectively and Positively with your Mentees facilitated by Dr. Rhonda Sutton
  • October 4, 2024 – Session 3: Addressing Mentee/Advisee Development and Performance facilitated by Dr. Katharine Stewart
  • October 18, 2024 – Session 4: Fostering Ethical Behavior, Independence and Goal Achievement facilitated by Dr. Maria Gallardo-Williams
