Wednesday, May 25, 8:30am-5:00pm, On campus
This workshop is designed for postdoctoral scholars who seek to enhance their mentoring skills as they begin to formally mentor others, using a needs-based approach to meet the individual experiences of diverse trainees.
Participants will engage in interactive discussions using literature-based approaches and activities developed by CIMER (Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research) and NRMN (National Research Mentoring Network), to explore four core competencies of mentorship: (1) establishing effective communication (2) aligning expectations (3) addressing diversity, equity, inclusion in mentorship and (4) fostering independence.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn about the science of effective mentorship, along with current research on what contributes to effective mentoring
- Identify multiple strategies to communicate effectively across differences
- Learn tools for articulating and aligning mentor & mentee expectations
- Increase understanding of issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and their impact on mentor-mentee interactions
- Explore our own expectations around independence and interdependence, and consider how to train mentees toward attributes for success in STEM
Workshop facilitated by:
- Steve Lee, Assistant Dean of Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity, H&S; Principal Facilitator with CIMER
- Sofie Kleppner, Associate Vice Provost and Associate Dean, OPA
- Robin Colomb Sugiura, Director of Postdoctoral Training, OPA
