The role of graduate advisor and mentor is critical – not only to students, disciplines, and the University, but to all who stand to benefit from the contributions made by those we advise and mentor. We encourage all graduate faculty to stay abreast of the latest trends in mentoring, as well as familiarize themselves with this important role. The Graduate School website contains excellent information on Mentoring and Advising.
Mentor Training for Graduate Faculty
As part of efforts to improve the research climate on campus, the Graduate School is offering training to graduate faculty who seek to be better research mentors. This training comes from the evidence-based practices of the CIMER Institute (Center for Improved Mentoring Experiences in Research) at the University of Wisconsin.
Training is intensive and limited to 25 per session. Sessions will be offered at least three times per year, but can also be made available to a program by request. View the GPDNet Calendar for upcoming dates.
